Additions include new seating with chair-backs, new and expanded restrooms, concession areas with twice as many point-of-sale stations and new locker rooms for men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball.

Wildcat Style — No Filter

Stylish students fashion their unique looks with everything from thrift store treasures to mom and dad hand-me-downs. For some, getting dressed is like painting a picture. They layer fishnets under jeans, don boldly patterned pants and aren’t afraid of color. They adorn a coat lapel with colorful pins, create a necklace from a vintage Kodachrome slide or skillfully apply false eyelashes. Last fall we scouted the campus for people who wowed us. Here are their Insta photos and style stories.

Inspired by Gratitude

A health crisis motivated Victor Su and Patricia Kou to help expand Northwestern’s speech and language services to a wider community. Their gift establishes the Su Family Community Impact Fund, which will support the Roxelyn and Richard Pepper Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and create a scholarship fund for undergraduate students in the McCormick School of Engineering.
