"Lauren Elizabeth Schlesinger recommends The Alumnae of Northwestern University. January 19 at 12:47 PM
The Alumnae of Northwestern serves the larger community of the university through funding and educational programing for undergraduates, graduates, and the public. Although many may not know much about this fierce group of women, they have made an immense impact-especially within the lives of individual scholars. Ten years ago, I received the Alumnae Graduate fellowship, and it changed the course of my life because I could then complete the MSEd program and pursue my goal of becoming a high school English teacher. Thank you so much for helping women pursue advanced degrees and for providing affordable classes to local adults. Thank you for enriching generations of Wildcats!"
