Annual MEM/PriSim Football Tailgate Recap
MEM alum, faculty, and students gathered before NU took on Eastern Illinois 

 

A beautiful day, BBQ, games and more set the stage for the Annual MEM/PriSim Tailgate on Saturday September 12th. 
PriSim Business War Games sponsored the pre-game party before the Northwestern Wildcats took on the Eastern Illinois Panthers. 
 
The tailgate offered fun for the whole family, with about 120 people in attendance this year. Children played games of bags while current and incoming students mixed and mingled with alumni, faculty and staff.
 
All of this excitement was followed by a Wildcat victory over the Panthers. After rushing 344 yards, the Wildcats put up 41 points while the Panthers went scoreless. This was the first shut out Northwestern's football team has seen since September 1, 2007.

Special thanks goes out to Jeff Lefebvre (and family!), Dave Semb, and PriSim Business War Games for sponsoring the Tailgate party and making it such a smashing success!  "PriSim looks forward to sponsoring the annual tailgate each Fall.  We really enjoy catching up with past graduates and discussing how their careers are progressing post-graduation."

Northwestern and McCormick Launch New Brand Designs
Along with a new website, the MEM program will soon transition to new brand designs   
   
 
Northwestern University has concluded a two year global branding study by updating the school's image - including items such as their logo, social media pages, as well as a new marketing video
 
The McCormick School of Engineering has followed suit in the re-branding process. Soon you will find an updated MEM logo, social media pages, and website to match the new branding. The branding brings consistency throughout the university, and may have even brought good fortune to the football team! Go 'Cats!
