The Northwood Bell has become an iconic symbol of accomplishment and good news on campus since its arrival in the summer of 1998. Its role is defined in the celebration of school pride and achievements from college acceptances and team victories to the arrival of newborn faculty children and Commencement. The bell has also become the symbol of our annual giving day, "Ring the Bell for Northwood." This day occurs on the first Thursday in March, it is the largest fund-raising event on Northwood's calendar and unites alumni from around the globe in support of their second home in the Adirondacks.
