All new students need to attend the Ranger Rally because it is our chance to welcome them to the Ranger family.”
Hansen said, “My favorite part of the Ranger Rally is the bonfire at the end where all the football coaches and the football team give incredible speeches about the upcoming season”.

Students should attend so that they can be part of a great Northwestern tradition that welcomes all students to be a part of this great family.”
