At Aloha Northwestern, the rowdy Rangers return!

They’re back! Northwestern students returned to class Aug. 16 following a summer of relative freedom — compared to most of 2020, that is. Coronavirus restrictions have been lifted on campus, meaning students are able to socialize without distancing. They did just that on Aug. 16 when the Student Government Association hosted Aloha Northwestern, an annual event featuring outdoor cooking, inflatables, music and games. Here’s how the scene looked.
