A message from Skeeter Bird

Northwestern Foundation & Alumni Association CEO



Thank you for choosing to visit our website. We hope you find much of the information here to be helpful. We have recently reformatted our site to offer several features that we previously could not provide.

We are always striving to improve our website and to offer you, our customer, the best and most helpful experience possible. If you see something that we could improve upon or you would like to see something that we do not offer, please let us know. Some of our best ideas have come from our donors and friends who care about us.

We want to be the best that we can be with the resources available, so don’t hesitate to pass along your great idea. You may contact me or any one of my staff directly if you need assistance, have an idea, or just want to chat.

Once again, thanks for stopping by and please come back often.
