Northern State University would like to present Northern Lights!!! All works presented on this web-site are the original works of Northern State University students and faculty. The English Department (and English Club) have been collecting student pieces since 1947. Since then we have expanded our collection throughout the fine arts.

Technology has been a key factor in the preservation and current publications of Northern Lights. We have moved our current web-site onto a blog format. Any visitors are free to comment upon student/faculty works, respectfully - Northern Lights will monitor all comments.

Northern Lights is currently in the process of republishing old issues of Northern Lights and Shelterbelt, which can only found in the Northern State Library Archives.

If you wish to submit or contact Northern Lights you may e-mail us at northernlights@wolves.northern.edu.
