Affinity Professional Development Programming
The NAA recently partnered with the Northwestern University Black Alumni Association (NUBAA) to host professional development evenings in major metropolitan areas, including Chicago, New York, and Washington, DC. Stay tuned for more affinity-based professional development programming coming soon. Membership in an NAA affinity club is not required.
New York Finance Group
Whether welcoming Northwestern interns to the Big Apple or hosting a casual networking happy hour, the New York Finance Group brings Wildcats in finance together in New York City to create professional connections and grow networking and career opportunities. The group wants to help ensure a strong Northwestern presence in the industry.
Our New York finance events have been a great way to connect with other Northwestern alumni. At one of the events, I ran into a classmate I hadn’t seen since we graduated nine years ago. We were catching up, and I realized we had pretty much been living parallel lives since college but hadn’t crossed paths until now.”

Northwestern Lawyers
Northwestern Lawyers is a new group that connects all alumni who work in the legal field—no matter where they earned their law degree. This group creates social and professional opportunities and provides members with mentoring and career assistance.
Participants can also work directly with Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law Dean Hari Osofsky and other senior administrators to support Law School admissions and recruitment, career strategy, and student and alumni mentorship, as well as the school’s social justice and emerging access to justice initiatives.
