Last month the Northeastern Seattle Alumni Chapter was launched and it gave us a chance to connect with the Associate Director of Alumni Relations (Colleen Webb) and our fellow alumni from the area. As of today, there are 968 alumni in the state of Washington. Amazing! Our launch event, which we held at Buckley’s in Belltown brought well over 30 of us together to kick off the chapter.

Tomorrow (11/17) at 12:30PM (PST), we’ll be holding our first conference call to exchange ideas, talk about future events, and drive the direction of our chapter. I’ll be heading up our chapter as the Chapter Leader and I certainly can’t do all the work. So I encourage you to join in the call or email me if you can’t attend to share your ideas and potentially volunteer to lead an effort or two.

I’ll be tweeting about upcoming events and news in the chapter using this hash (#NUSeattleAlum). So follow along!

Last night, we welcomed the newest graduates from Northeastern University to the Northwest! We held the event at Black Raven Brewing which recently opened up in the Redmond, WA area.

The turnout was 15 alumni and 2 guests of the alumni. I would like to thank everyone who came out for the event to welcome our recent grads! I will be honest; it was really cool to have my sister there too!
