Why It's Wild

The term "Norgüestern University" was adopted by Latinx Northwestern students to reflect the impact that their native language has on the pronunciation of the English term "Northwestern". It is commonly used when discussing the university in Spanish and was featured on a T-shirt that was being sold by Ballet Folklorico Mexicano de Northwestern: Ritmo de mis ancestros as part of a fundraiser.
