Welcome Northwestern Alumni

A partnership between the Northwestern Alumni Association (NAA) and VocationVacations® offers Northwestern alumni the opportunity to take their turn as a mentor and support their alma mater.

This partnership is designed to recruit Northwestern alumni as VocationVacations mentors and also provide members the chance to give back to their university. Here’s how it works:

VocationVacations helps NAA to recruit alumni as mentors by offering the unique opportunity to utilize their educational and career expertise as an approved VocationVacations mentor;
Alumni who qualify as mentors receive:
- their own page on the VocationVacations Web site highlighting their business or organization;
- compensation for time spent mentoring;
- potential press/media coverage;
- the knowledge that they are making a difference in someone’s life.

In turn, the partnership supports NAA programs;
As an added bonus, alumni and current students receive a 10 percent discount off any VocationVacation. Just say "wildcats" upon booking a VocationVacation. Call 866.888.6329 for more information.

If mentoring sounds like something you would like to consider, and you meet or exceed the criteria listed below, then please consider becoming a VocationVacations mentor!
