Emily Farr ’03 went to law school after graduating from Northwestern not knowing exactly what she would do with that degree. Farr has since launched her own firm focused on corporate, employment, and health law. As she became a successful attorney she went looking for a women’s speakers bureau to get involved with. She couldn’t find what she was looking for so she started her own. Myra is Chicago’s all-female speakers bureau working to connect talented women to speaking opportunities and networking events. It may look like Farr has taken some risks in her career, but she doesn’t see it that way. Tune in for her perspective on putting in the work to figure out what you love.
Also, Farr is the Co-Chair of her 15 Year Reunion Committee. Homecoming and Reunion Weekend (October 11-14) are cherished traditions where alumni can share a toast to the past and a toast to the future. It is a time to come home to Evanston to celebrate, reconnect with classmates, and create new memories.
