A group of 18 members and friends of the Northwestern-Kellogg Alumni Club of Switzerland spent three days immersed in the scenic rural vineyard landscape of Piedmont (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site), home to some of the most famous Barolo, Barbaresco, and Nebbiolo Italian wines, Alba's white truffle, chocolate and hazelnut. Private tours of vineyards and cellars were arranged for the group as well as a truffle hunt with a licensed truffle hunter.

This past fall, the club hosted Northwestern Trustee Melih Keyman, president, CEO and founder of Keytrade AG, a company that trades globally in fertilizers and grain meals and proteins. Keyman has been a generous supporter of Northwestern’s developing programs in Turkish studies, a crucial element of former President Henry Bienen’s efforts to expand Middle East studies.
