Join us for a fun-filled sendoff at Worcester’s beautiful Union Station. Hosted by NU Alumnus Kevin Mercadante ’77, P’12 and his wife, Kate for the past 24 years, this event is one of our largest sendoffs each year. The buffet dinner will be catered by Maxwell Silverman’s and is free to all that attend. Local alumni, students and families will be on hand to welcome incoming students and their families, share experiences, and provide tips and tricks for success on the Hill. Sendoffs are also a great opportunity for alumni to network and catch up with friends!
