Washington / Seattle

Lots of news to report from Western Washington: First of all, a huge heap of thanks to Rima Kelertas, outgoing alumni club president, who worked tirelessly for more than two years on behalf of local alums. Thank you, Rima! And welcome to Ann MacDiarmid, our new fearless leader, who has taken over where Rima left off — and is brimming with ideas for strengthening the club and making it an even better resource for networking, education and fun. Ann welcomes your input, ideas and involvement, and can be reached at amacdiarmid1998@kellogg.northwestern.edu.

Keep your eyes peeled for e-mails announcing lots of great upcoming events. We planned a hike at Wallace Falls State Park in June, a picnic with other area alumni clubs on Mercer Island in July, a canoeing/kayaking event near the University District in August, and we’ll bid farewell to the summer season with our popular annual wine-tasting event in September. Be sure to update your contact information on the Kellogg alumni database if you haven’t already done so — and we’ll look forward to seeing you soon!
