Wildcat Professional Excellence Program
The Wildcat Professional Excellence Program (WPEP) is an event aimed at providing student-athletes in their junior year the chance to meet and learn from professionals representing a wide range of career fields, giving the 'Cats insight into the roads they'll travel after graduation and a network of industry leaders to call upon for advice.
More than 40 professionals attended last year's WPEP, representing diverse backgrounds and positions with organizations in consulting, finance, medicine, journalism, law, and many more. Over the course of five networking sessions of twenty minutes each, all of the approximately 100 Northwestern student-athletes who attended WPEP met in small groups with five different professionals of their choosing.
