Meet the Class of 2028

St. Norbert’s latest group of first-year students is already several days into their opening semester on campus — settling into dorm rooms, finalizing course loads, and discovering favorite college hangouts.

Hailing from 14 states and five countries, these 386 incoming first-years and 28 transfer students have become part of the SNC community. 32 have direct legacy ties to campus, too, having at least one parent or sibling who graduated from St. Norbert!
