2025 Fall Dinner

We will honor our scholars at the Annual Fall Dinner on October 12, 2025, hosted at the NU Norris Center. We’re excited to welcome back our returning scholars, board members, and to meet our newest first-year scholars. The evening will feature a delicious meal catered by Tiffany Scroggins Catering Company—always a crowd favorite.

We warmly invite our alumnae to attend and reconnect. If you're available, please reach out—we’d love to see you there!
