On September 17, Northwestern Engineering celebrated its return to campus on the plaza of the Technological Institute by formally welcoming its class of 2025 to “An Afternoon with McCormick.” Part of the University’s weeklong Wildcat Welcome orientation, the event allowed new Northwestern engineers to meet with student and faculty leaders from a variety of student groups, including the McCormick School of Engineering’s chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers, Develop + Innovate for Social Change, and the school’s Formula and Baja racing teams. Students met their new peers, showcased their latest projects, and discussed their goals for the year.
