The Men’s Squash team at Northeastern would like to welcome all alumni and family members to our annual alumni event this October 20th! While the event will be held virtually to maintain healthy protocols as mandated by the university and state government, this will give us the opportunity to introduce everyone to our 2020/21 team and showcase our plans for the upcoming season. The event will be held on Zoom, which allows us to break off into smaller rooms to catch up with old friends and lets you ask more specific questions to members of the team. The event is scheduled to begin at 5pm and conclude at 6:30pm, but we will be posting all the information discussed at the event on our website the next day to accommodate people living in different time zones or working until later in the day. Please fill out this form to register for the event if you plan on attending!

Our plan for the event is to begin with a brief introduction of our team, highlighting any new members as well as graduating seniors, and to discuss our schedule for the augmented season. We will then break off into smaller rooms with members of the executive board hosting smaller chat rooms to answer any additional questions. Finally, we will come together at the end to talk about future plans for the team and where we hope to grow this season and beyond, particularly as it relates to financing the team and traveling to compete at more high-level tournaments and round-robins. The event should last around 90 minutes, and a full write up of information will be posted here for anyone who can’t attend or has to miss part of the event. We hope to see you there!
