Kenzie Jackson

Meet Kenzie Jackson, a Public Relations major and Communication Studies minor from Oconto Falls, WI. Kenzie plans to graduate in 2026.

Why did you decide to come to NMU?

I chose NMU because of the small campus and class sizes. NMU's campus is a warm, welcoming community that I love being a part of. We also have the most beautiful campus year-round! Nothing compares to a cozy snowy day or a dip in the lake on a warm August day in Marquette.

How did you decide your major/minor?

I chose my major because I love working with people and businesses. I also enjoy creating content and working with people to achieve their goals!

What's an example of a cool, interesting or helpful thing that you have done as a part of your major?

I think it's really interesting that PR majors are required to complete an internship. We get to create and customize the internship to our individual needs. This opportunity helps individuals grow and learn more about the field.

What are you involved in on- and off-campus and what has been the most rewarding experience?

I'm involved with lots of things! I am a member of PRSSA, and I recently became the secretary. I also am apart of Delight's on campus women's ministries group. I also work at the Fit zone and in the Marketing office as a student assistant. All of my experiences through Northern have been rewarding. Each opportunity has helped me grow as a student and as a person.

What does being a Wildcat mean to you?

To me, being a Wildcat means being apart campus and taking advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.

How did you find your sense of belonging at NMU?

I found my sense of belonging by trying new things and immersing myself into lots of different clubs and activities on campus. Reaching out to people and making connections has also played a huge part in finding my sense of belonging.
