The New Year Way

Welcome to a New Year and a New Semester at 71 North! The first Pulse of 2026 may feel frosty on the outside, but inside our studio, the energy is anything but cold. As students return to campus and ideas begin to flow again, 71 North is buzzing with creativity, collaboration, and excitement for what’s ahead.

This semester, we’re thrilled to welcome both new and returning faces into the studio as we kick off another season of creating and learning together. We’re bringing back some of your favorite events, including Tech Tacos, Northern Exposure, and CHILL. Whether you’re here to sharpen your technical skills, explore something new, or connect with other creative thinkers, 71 North is ready to support you every step of the way.

So grab a warm drink, power up your laptop, and settle in. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create this semester. Let’s make 2026 one to remember at 71 North.
