About this Raddle

The Lakefill, a 74-acre human-made peninsula reclaimed from Lake Michigan in the early 1960s, is now a vital piece of the Northwestern campus, holding the NU Library, the Regenstein Hall of Music, the student center, and the since-demolished Lindheimer Observatory.

Theme: Northwestern University

I graduated from Northwestern University in 1998, with a degree in Computer Science, though I spent most of my time there designing for the newspaper, The Daily Northwestern. Every few months since graduating, I open up the latest NU alumni magazine with an eye out for the names of folks I once knew. I'm thrilled to say that now I'm one of those names, thanks to this profile of me by Diana Babineau.
