Dr. Randall J. Webb, President of Northwestern State University

Welcome to Traditions, Northwestern’s website to highlight the cherished art, objects, and people that have made over the past 127 years our campus and community what it is today. Portraits, paintings, and plaques seen around the campus are documented for the first time. Distinguished alumni recognized by induction into The Long Purple Line are presented. Treasures are an inventory of often seen objects around the campus with historical or cultural significance.

Additional Collections will be added over time so please check back to find out more about what has made Northwestern so special to so many.
