[Music] the mission and and the vision of the Alumni Association at Northwestern is to increase engagement between alumni and and each other as well as to increase engagement between alumni and the university itself engagement with other alums is an enjoyable experience happened to me this week when I was in the Denver Airport and ahead of me in this line security line was a young woman with a Northwestern t-shirt on and and I I said go cats and we started a conversation and turns out that she was Willie the Wildcat as an undergraduate and I had
never met a Willie the Wildcat before so that was a thrill and in any event we are now buddies it turns out her father is a professor at Northwestern and uh we made an agreement that the next time she's back in Evanson I'm going to try to connect her with the Alumni Association my message to alums who uh are are not involved at all would be try it if works and uh try it could be a variety of different things uh for those of us who are lucky enough to be in the Chicago area on
weekends when there's a football game or a basketball game it's going to a game for those of us who live in a community where there is a club of which we have many around the United States go to a a Northwestern Alumni club meeting uh if if we're not look at our web page read as much as you can about Northwestern learn as much as you can and my bet is that you're going to want to be more engaged more involved with Northwestern after you've had these experiences [Music]
