C100 / NUEA West Summer Networking Event For Young Alumnae and Female Students
The Northwestern University Council of One Hundred and NUEA West are hosting a small networking event for female undergraduate and graduate students, as well as young alumnae, in the Los Angeles area.
Please join us for some fun social time, and a series of “round tables,” talking about your careers-challenges you’re facing (and opportunities), and decisions you may be contemplating about changing jobs, changing careers, or going back to grad school. Please come with a couple of topics you’re most interested in talking about.

C100 SUMMER NETWORKING EVENT
Sunday, July 29th
El Torito Grill, Beverly Hills
—
C100 members are leaders in their professions who serve as career mentors for female students and young alumnae. C100 members bring a wealth of experience (and wisdom) from their own backgrounds. Here’s just a sample:
- A Communications major who combined her extensive entertainment background with her entrepreneurial spirit to establish her own production company.
- A learning disabilities teacher who transitioned into corporate America, got a PhD., had a family, and became an entrepreneur who runs her own management consulting firm and writes/produces award-winning features and short films “on the side.”
- An advertising executive who became and author, university instructor, executive coach, and non-profit founder, while raising three sons.
- A Communications major who became an MD specializing in international emergency medicine, then transitioned into entertainment as a medical advisor on “ER”, eventually becoming an award- winning writer on “Grey’s Anatomy.”
- A communications major who wrote the most watched episode in TV, taught screenwriting at UCLA, and transitioned into literature, writing a best-selling novel and two other books while raising a son and keeping a husband happy.
- Two Medill grads-one a best-selling memoirist, and the other an associate producer of Dateline on NBC, with a special skill for murder trials.
