Alumni Weekend is a special time each year where our NorthStar family comes back home. Being a “Forever Knight” means more than the years you spent here. It is a lifelong connection built through shared experiences, growth, and relationships that continue well beyond your time in the program. Our goal is for NorthStar to always feel like a place you can return to, where you are known, valued, and welcomed. Alumni Weekend is designed to bring our community back together to celebrate those connections and continue building meaningful relationships with one another.
