Alumni Relations and Development

At Northwestern University, the office of Alumni Relations and Development serves to engage Northwestern alumni, parents, friends, and organizations in supporting the institution's goal to attain the "highest order of excellence" — a goal envisioned by its founders in 1851.

Guided by the University's strategic priorities and the leadership of President Morton Schapiro and Vice President Robert McQuinn, Alumni Relations and Development collaborates with the entire University community to support the students, faculty, schools, and initiatives that make Northwestern a world-class institution of higher learning and innovative research.
