Who are the alumni behind Northwestern University Pride Alumni Club’s podcast Who NU?? And what is Who NU? all about? Host Len Iaquinta ’66 and producer Marc Staros ’09, share stories about their respective Northwestern experiences and their career paths after graduation. Iaquinta details how he pursued a career in broadcast radio and eventually philanthropy that led to a seven year position at Northwestern. While Staros pursued a successful career in consulting and eventually became an independent consultant and advisor. We also learn how life on campus was very different for each of them due to society's changing perspectives on LGBTQIA+ identifying folks. Iaquinta and Staros share how they first became involved in NUPAC and how listening to an episode of Northwestern Intersections while stuck on the Kennedy Expressway sparked the inspiration for Who NU?.
On this episode of Northwestern Intersections, learn from Iaquinta and Staros more about the founding and evolution of NUPAC. Including how the alumni group is creating resources for LGBTQIA+ students, like the NUPAC Scholarship Fund: a permanently endowed fund that was created to provide undergraduate financial aid for students demonstrating contributions to the LGBTQIA+ community through leadership, service, volunteering, or research. And how NUPAC creates space for LGBTQIA+ alumni and allies to build community together. Iaquinta and Staros also share more about the mission of Who NU?, notable past guests, and what's next for the podcast.
