The North Park community is heartbroken to share the news of Gertrude "Trudy" DeWaters' passing. Trudy, a recently retired faculty member in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences, passed away on July 1.

Trudy touched the lives of students and colleagues at NPU since 2004 through her role in the North Park nurse practitioner program. She was known for her humor, empathy, and immense clinical expertise.

Trudy will be greatly missed by the countless colleagues, students, and staff members who had the privilege of learning from her.

Have a safe and joyful Fourth of July, Vikings!

This is what dreams are made of 🛵 North Park’s football team and their families visited Italy this May, playing the university’s first-ever international game against an Italian League team in Milan, Italy.

Our Vikings competed against the Legnano Frogs, with North Park winning 62-0, amidst touring Vatican City, Milan, Lake Como, and Lugano, Switzerland. U.S. Consul General Douglas Benning, who is based in Milan, attended the game and participated in the coin toss and pregame festivities.
