About the Northwestern Alumni Association
The NAA dates back to 1881, when the newly founded Alumni Association hosted the University’s first Alumni Day on June 22. Now more than 140 years later, the NAA is proud to inspire Northwestern alumni to follow their interests, pursue lifelong learning, and make meaningful connections with each other and their alma mater.
