Nora is an Elementary and Special Ed Major at CUW

Meet Nora Finnegan, an Elementary and Special Ed major from Appleton, Wisconsin. On her first day, she couldn’t go anywhere without someone giving her directions. Nora is most looking forward to her class about engaging children’s literacy. Nora enjoys the Best Buddies club on campus and the support system of her friends and family. She and her roommates wanted to have a colorful room, so they chose a colorful theme. She chose Concordia for the cross-categorical major and the community.
