   About Northwestern State University

   Athletics at Northwestern have also spawned generations of coaches, administrators and teachers who have made profound impacts on the lives of countless thousands of students in hundreds of schools in cities, towns, villages and communities around Louisiana and beyond. Northwestern was founded as the State Normal College, designed to produce teachers, and that historic mission remains at the core of the university's identity two centuries later. Many student-athletes, dating from the days before the first intercollegiate competition in a 1907 football game, have gone on to significant careers in education. In the century-plus that Northwestern has been active in athletics, Demon and Lady Demon competitors, teams and coaches have brought great recognition and pride to the university, the surrounding area, the state and alumni around the world. Sports has evolved from a pleasant afternoon or evening outing for the campus and local community into a highly competitive marketing arm of the university, significant in student recruitment, alumni engagement and attracting new support to Northwestern.
