NORFOLK, Neb. — Northeast Community College unveiled a new brand, tagline, and logo for the college and the athletic department.

The college’s new tagline read ’Onward. Upward. Northeast’ which the school said represents their commitment to progress and upward mobility.

The new logo contains an N that features an arrow pointing northeast.

The Hawks logo is now a redesign of the original.

The college said the rebrand focuses on three pillars:

  • Strong history with a bold pledge for the future.
  • Commitment to all learners, making education affordable and accessible to all.
  • Continued dedication to meeting workforce and economic needs.

“With this new brand, we’ve reinforced the ‘sky’s the limit’ for our students and the Northeast community,” Northeast Community College President Leah Barrett said.

Northeast is also collecting donations of new or gently used clothing for Norfolk-founded Orphan Grain Train.

Donations are being accepted near the Union Coffee Shop on Friday from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
