EVANSTON, Ill. -- In celebration of the past, present and future of Northwestern women's athletics, the athletic department is hosting the Wildcat Women's Athletic Reunion April 30 through May 2, 2010.

This weekend will serve as a chance for all former female student-athletes to return to Evanston and connect with old friends and teammates as well as experience all of the exciting changes that have occurred in recent years.

Highlights of the weekend will include home contests for women's lacrosse and softball, a tour of the athletic facilities, a tailgate, a student-athlete/alumnae networking session, a reception held at the Hotel Orrington, team specific events (such as alumni games, brunches, etc.) and more!
