Alumni Dinner Spring 2013

Our Alumni Association is an active group of literacy professionals from the Chicago metropolitan area. Our meetings help provide networking opportunities for our recent graduates and alumni to interact with other literacy professionals. 

Honoring our Distinguished Alumni

Yolanda Nieves2013 Distinguished Alumna, Yolanda Nieves

Yolanda has been featured on Vocalo, WGN TV News, NPR, and other public media forums for her artistic work.

MEET-THE AUTHOR NIGHTS

Fall alumni events often feature area authors. One of our authors and a 1992 Northeastern graduate, Esme Codell, shared some readings of her recent work and then signed books for alumni and guests. 

 

 

HONORING OUR GRADUATES

At our Alumni Event each spring, we honor our recent graduates. Here are our 2012-2013 graduates. They sure do look happy!
