INTRODUCTION

Twenty-six classes of rowers and coxswains have graduated from Northwestern since the rowing club’s founding by WCAS sophomore, Derrick Grava.  NU Crew now has over 250 active alumni who live all over the world and an established alumni organization, the Bubbly Creek Rowing Foundation (BCRF). Like other successful rowing programs, our involved alumni are a significant part of the team’s success.

As the 25th crew in NU history, we would like to thank all of you who came before us. We would not be rowing without the thousands of strokes each of you took before we stepped into a boat at NU!

To help us celebrate the 25th year of Northwestern rowing, the team would like to invite all former NU rowers, coxswains, and coaches to reconnect with the club. We want you to recall your years with NU Crew and to remember how much they meant to you and your teammates.

INVOLVEMENT

Support from our alumni is critical to the present and future success of NU Crew. There are many ways to stay involved with the team. Some require more time or energy than others, but the most important thing you can do takes only five minutes:

Please stay in touch! In order to tell you about what’s happening with the team, we need you to keep your mailing and email address current. We also want you to share your favorite memories of NU crew, tell us what’s happening in your life now,
