Student Life

NKU is a student-centered university committed to empowering students to excel in their education. Programs that enhance the student experience increase retention, prepare them to become leaders and ultimately increase the value of an NKU degree.


A gift to Student Life initiatives supports opportunities like...

  The Center for Student Engagement brings life to campus through student involvement in Registered Student Organizations, Fraternity and Sorority Life, the Activities Programming Board and university events such as Homecoming. 

  Campus Recreation provides fulfilling health and fitness activities to students and the university community through its many amenities, such as training equipment, sports clubs, Norse fitness programs and aquatic center. 


Your support strengthens programs that help students at NKU thrive and stay on the path toward graduation.
