Engines roar and spirits soar at NMU Homecoming parade

The NMU Homecoming Parade toured through Third and Front Street on Friday. The parade consisted of floats built by Wildcats, from athletes to student organizations who showed up to show off their student pride.

“This is my third homecoming parade and I came in during COVID. It’s been kind of nice to see more people come out year after year and get involved. We have a lot of freshmen this year and they’re all pretty pumped about this so it’s really nice to have this team morale up,” Sydney Romps, a senior in track and field said.

About the Contributors

Dallas Wiertella, Multimedia Editor

Through my experience here at the North Wind I have been able to have the privilege of highlighting students through all forms of multimedia journalism. Whether I'm in front or behind the camera, I aim to highlight human achievement in whatever way I can!

Abigail Faix, Features Editor

My name is Abby, I am a fourth-year student at Northern. I am studying Multimedia Journalism with a minor in Political Science. I've always been passionate about journalism since I was in high school. I was offered this position as a Journalism Practicum student and am now so thankful to have the opportunity to write for The Northwind as the new Features Editor. I've found that The Northwind has led me to more connections throughout the university and community than I would find on my own. I'm always interested in getting to know new people and what's happening around Marquette.
