Wonderful Day for Annual MEM/PriSim Football Tailgate
Students, alumni, and faculty gather to kick-off the new academic year!
Over 130 attendees including students, faculty, alumni and staff attended the Annual MEM/PriSim Tailgate on Saturday, September 17th. Sponsored by PriSim Business War Games, the family-friendly event provided an opportunity for the MEM community to kick-off the year on the right foot! Northwestern took on the Duke Blue Devils and won the game 24-13.
The tailgate provided opportunities for students, staff, and alum to mingle with old friends and new students. Moeen Mujeeb, a current student and Senior Business Development Manager at Motorola Solutions, shares his experience from the annual event, "No better way to reconnect with alum, faculty, and mingle with new students starting the program. MEM/PriSim tailgate event is a wonderful tradition and hats off to the organizers for putting this together each year. My family looks forward to this event each year and it is always a great time!"
Gail Berger, MEM Professor who teaches the Organizational Leadership and Negotiation courses, also enjoyed participating in the event. "The tailgate was an opportunity to connect with students and alum in a casual and fun environment. I enjoy being able to learn more about the students so that I can relate to them on a personal/human level."
A special thanks to Professor Jeff Lefebvre, Professor Dave Semb, and their families for managing an amazing tailgate!
