2 You don t want just to learn. You want to do. You want to put ideas into action. To make something with those ideas. To connect the classroom to the real world. To get out there and show what you re made of. You don t need someone to tell you it s a complex and changing world. You need an education that prepares you to make it in that world. MAKE IT. MATTER. At Newbury, you matter. You re seen. You re known. And in this highly personalized environment, you ll be mentored, challenged, and prepared to achieve your personal and professional goals.

3 MAKE IT REAL. Fashion merchandising students work on a Kickstarter campaign for a new fashion line. Culinary students redesign the campus restaurant. Criminal Justice majors get an insider s look at law enforcement at a Truth in Policing event. At Newbury, no matter what your major, you ll have educational experiences that matter. We make sure your learning is tangible, your goals attainable, and your career preparation real. STUFF THAT FACULTY WITH REAL- WORLD EXPERIENCE UNLIMITED ACCESS TO FACULTY. BECAUSE CONNECTIONS MATTER. Newbury faculty are teachers above all else. Their research and professional experience all comes back to helping you get where you want to go. Here, they don t just know your name. They know your study habits. They know your interests and work them into the class. They ll even work with you to create an individualized study plan that plays to your strengths. CLASSES THAT COUNT. At Newbury, because our classes are small, we do things differently. You re not going to sit through a PowerPoint presentation for a whole class here. Instead, you ll have classes that are project driven. Classes designed to get you actively involved. Classes taught by industry leaders setting you up for great internships and giving you a realistic view of the job. And classes that take full advantage of all the resources of Boston. WANT TO EXPRESS YOUR INTELLECTUAL CREATIVITY? And to develop your academic potential? The Newbury College Honors Program offers academically gifted and highly motivated students opportunities to explore topics in diverse disciplines in specialized seminars, participate in extracurricular cultural experiences, and, in their junior year, conduct an extensive research project based on their interests.

Through programs such as overnight Orientation, Nighthawk Welcome Weekend, First-Year Seminar, and First-Year Class Council, you ll start connecting with other first-year students from the moment you commit to attending Newbury. Here at Newbury College, we learned about life and people rather than just academia. It is in our time here that we were allowed to try new things, change our minds, build character, practice integrity, become the people we thought we wanted to be, and change our minds again.

While campus events are available to all Newbury students, living on campus makes them all much more convenient. Living on campus also means having lots of housing options. Go for the unique double-room and triple-room layouts of Edwards Hall. Or find your focus with Mitton House, a quiet living environment for upperclassmen. In addition to our on-campus residence halls, we offer satellite residence halls in Brookline. Enjoy the community of Brookline Manor, which provides co-ed housing for 75 students.

Our Office of Commuter Student Outreach plans events and programs to help you learn more about the campus community, meet other students, and make the most of your time at Newbury. Newbury s warm reception helped me feel at home immediately. That helped me grow quickly I made friends easier, classes were manageable, and I found myself leading our Pride Club as president at the end of my first year. I also am the radio station manager. Great for my resume and my future, Newbury has me careerfocused and Nighthawk proud! MIKEY HOLIHAN 18
