Mark '76 and Cindy Pickerel

"After I graduated from Northwest, my new career and busy family life didn't allow me to think about my alma mater for many years. An opportunity arrived in 2003 that allowed me to connect with the campus again, and I was ready to answer the call. I attended a meeting about the formation of an alumni chapter in St. Joseph and quickly became a part of the association. The more involved I became, the more I realized what I had been missing. My wife, Cindy, soon became involved and is caught up in the enthusiasm as well. As members of the Northwest Alumni Association, we have enjoyed being a part of Northwest's success. We take pride in being associated with Northwest, enjoy the new friends we have made and promote the Alumni Association at every opportunity."

It's because of the volunteer support of countless alumni and friends -- spirited people like Mark and Cindy Pickerel -- that Northwest continues to thrive.
