I hope you had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. We recently hosted some great events out in North Carolina (Asheville and Charlotte), as well as in Atlanta at the Northwestern vs. Georgia Tech game. We partnered with the NU Atlanta Alumni Club and held a pre-game reception there. On November 29, we hosted Birmingham-area alumni for a gathering. We are planning several exciting events for 2018 here in Chicago and across the country. We hope that you will join us if you are in one of these areas.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or event ideas.
