Arch Society is a vibrant, student-run organization sponsored by the Northwestern Alumni Association (NAA). Members are student ambassadors who support NAA programs and University-wide events by strengthening the relationships among alumni, students, faculty, and staff. Past events include Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, Paws on Finals—an event that brings therapy dogs to help students relax and recharge, and more. Members enthusiastically work to help students and alumni build a lifelong connection to Northwestern.
Currently, Arch Society has an active membership of more than 20 undergraduate students from a wide range of majors and class years. Recruitment typically takes place during the fall and winter quarters after the Student Org Fair. We're always looking forward to welcoming new members. Contact Arch Society for additional information on how to get involved.
