Meet the Team!

The Idea Center has some new staff members this year, and we’d love to introduce them!

First up is Porter Pritchard! He’s a freshman and is very excited to serve as our Event & Activity Coordinator!

Porter is planning several events this semester! He’s already hosted a headshot and career fair prep event and is now planning a watch party for the NU football team’s away game this Saturday, 10/17! Check out our socials for more information about the event!

Keep an eye out for future events, as Global Entrepreneurship Week is coming up in November!

We’re so glad to have Porter on the team!
