Money Matters week seeks to create space on campus for conversations surrounding class, identity, and Northwestern’s demographics. Through events and an awareness campaign, Student Enrichment Services (SES) and Northwestern University Quest Scholars are focusing the event on why money matters, not matters of money.
The Northwestern alumni list is impressive to say the least. The University has been home to all kinds of creators, thinkers, and impactors. One of these alums is Stephanie D’Abruzzo. D’Abruzzo is a talented singer, actor, and puppeteer, most well known for her two roles in the Broadway musical Avenue Q and her continued work on children’s shows, including Sesame Street.
She returned to campus for a few days at the end of February and took time out of her schedule to host two firesides at her beloved Communications Residential College (CRC).
Sweet liberation. You can nearly taste it. Spring break is only a few weeks away and you can hardly contain your excitement for actual free time — something Northwestern students rarely come by during a busy quarter.
There’s only one problem: You’re staying in Evanston.
Your friends have all scrimped and saved for months. They’re heading off to tropical and interesting places or returning home for spring break, but you decided to save money and chill out around campus for the week off. You’re pretty jealous of your friends, but Evanston can be a fun place to spend free time, and you have Chicago right in your backyard!
Every morning when she gets to work, Campus Life Administrative Assistant Jean Voss looks forward to being greeted by a smiling, bubbly young man named Michael Sheridan. After making the rounds saying good morning to everyone in the office, Sheridan gets to work checking off tasks on his to-do list of daily responsibilities. Sheridan is part of Project SEARCH Collaborates for Autism (PSCA), a one-year program to help students with autism transition from their last year of high school to the working world.
I moved off campus my sophomore year, and while I’m glad I did, there were definitely things I wish I had known before moving all of my furniture, clothes, and dishes up those three flights of stairs to apartment A3. We called it “The Menagerie”, and what a fitting title. Our apartment was a bit of a zoo—a classy zoo—but a zoo nonetheless.
I didn’t think about discussing rules and chores with any of my future roommates before signing the lease. We talked about rent and bills, who would pay what and who was in charge, but we never got around to discussing our ideal living situation.
While most of you were away this summer, Northwestern made some big changes to better serve and engage the community. Here’s a list of the changes to be on the look out for:
- Northwestern Dining Renovations
- Gender and Sexuality Resource Center
- Scott Hall
- 2122 Sheridan Road
