The 乔伊斯 and Harvey White 国际广场 was constructed in 1998 as a tribute to Northwest's global enrollment. 象征着善意与和平, it recognizes the various countries of currently enrolled Northwest students. It boasts the flags of 54 nations and displays five clocks showing times between Maryville and Istanbul.

乔伊斯 Smith White was born in Maryville and attended kindergarten at Northwest's Horace Mann Laboratory School when it was located in the southwest corner of the Administration Building's first floor. After graduating from Maryville High School, 她就读于威尼斯人在线, completing a Bachelor of Science degree in business education and Spanish.

在西北, 乔伊斯 made many friends that would last a lifetime, 包括她最好的朋友, international student Mary "Maria" de Ardeles Stein of Argentina. Through her friendship with Maria and the support of the Rotary International chapter in Maria's hometown of Tucuman, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, 乔伊斯 studied Spanish for a year in Argentina.

乔伊斯's passion for promoting diversity and helping international students acclimate to life in the United States was the impetus for her establishing an organization in the 1960s called the "Wives of the World." She explained that in those days most foreign students at institutions across America were men, and their wives often were isolated in campus housing, sometimes with small children and with little or no knowledge of the English language. Wives of the World worked to ensure these women were supported and able to interact successfully in their communities by providing free English language instruction and other services.

乔伊斯 was a teacher both at Maryville High School and at Northwest. During her years at Northwest, she taught literature under the chairmanship of Dr. 约瑟夫Dreps. She would later tell Northwest President Dr. 罗伯特•福斯特 that those were the happiest years of her life.

Although the Whites life experiences led them far from Missouri, Northwest nevertheless remained dear to their hearts. To quote former 熊猫 coach 阮兰德米尔纳, “曾经是一只熊猫, 总是一只熊猫," the Whites have found that statement to be true, actively supporting Northwest students through scholarship opportunities. 乔伊斯 also served two terms on the 西北的基础 Board during some of its formative years, leading to the "Campaign for Northwest," which raised more than $40 million for the institution.
