Access

The life-changing personal relationship with Jesus Christ entails a life-long commitment to grow as a disciple. Access Friday night meetings are access points (pun intended) to greater intimacy with God by learning to commit to the process of discipleship. Access is a time to delve into great depths of studying the Word of God that still has relevancy in our lives today. As biblical principles are drawn out, we are challenged to apply such lessons in our personal lives. So whether we are starry-eyed college students or well established in the working life, there is no age limitations when it comes to maturing as a Christ-follower. Our community of faith takes discipleship seriously, and we encourage all to join us to experience the riches of becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. Access is a ministry of Harvest Mission Community Church.

NORML-SSDP

Since its founding in 1970, NORML has provided a voice in the public policy debate for those Americans who oppose marijuana prohibition and favor an end to the practice of arresting marijuana smokers. A nonprofit public-interest advocacy group, NORML represents the interests of the tens of millions of Americans who smoke marijuana responsibly. As a campus chapter of NORML it is our goal to move public opinion, at Northwestern University and the surrounding communities, sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty. We also seek to represent to the best of our ability SSDP: Students for Sensible Drug Policy is an international grassroots network of students who are concerned about the impact drug abuse has on our communities, but who also know that the War on Drugs is failing our generation and our society. SSDP mobilizes and empowers young people to participate in the political process, pushing for sensible policies to achieve a safer and more just future, while fighting back against counterproductive Drug War policies, particularly those that directly harm students and youth. In a combined effort of these two organizations, we seek higher understanding our own political system and the consequences that arise from faulty legislation and its overall impact on our society.

Northwestern Model Arab League

Started in 1983 as a one-time simulation at Georgetown University, the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations' Model Arab League (MAL) has since grown to include 2,500 students at over 200 universities and secondary schools participating in 16 models throughout the U.S. every year. Acting as delegates of the 22-member states of the League of Arab States, MAL students debate the political, economic, and social issues that real diplomats wrestle with daily. At conferences, the delegates draft and vote on resolutions that seek to address the Arab world’s most pressing challenges. In addition to competing at regional and national conferences, MAL at Northwestern is deeply committed to fostering an understanding of the Middle East from an Arab perspective through regular meetings and educational lectures on-campus. This alternative perspective is vital to a deeper appreciation of the Arab world’s complex issues. Our hope is that MAL will encourage and equip its members and Northwestern students to critically analyze and question practices and policies both within the Arab world and between Arab nations and the international community.
