Good Luck NU Fans in 2017 Season.
Excerpts:
“Education was a major factor why my sons chose Northwestern,” says Henry Queiro, whose sons Kyle and Cameron accepted offers to play for the Wildcats in 2013 and 2014, respectively. “We raised them to realize that sports was just a platform for getting a top-notch education, and that hitting the books would always be the first priority in our household.”...............“What Northwestern offers to students was a huge selling point to me three years ago,” states Queiro, who also strongly considered Duke and Vanderbilt. “Some players look at education as a backup plan, but that was never the case with me. Having that degree is essential for propelling me to the jobs I’ll be seeking in my field. Plus, the alumni network here is a phenomenal resource for young guys like me. Schools like Northwestern, Duke and Vanderbilt have such pride in their curriculum and put education at the forefront of their pitches, which is awesome.” What makes the Northwestern model so successful is that there’s a buy-in at all levels, from university president Morton Schapiro and each of the school deans to head football coach Pat Fitzgerald. This is a tight, singularly voiced collaboration of leadership, and the message is being heard loud and clear from prospective students and their parents. “You know, Fitz is just amazing,” says Henry Queiro, an engineer whose foundation, Educating Athletes, teaches young people how to leverage their athleticism to build a brighter future beyond football. “He really gets it. His first presentation to us parents was like nothing I’d ever seen before. He didn’t even discuss football, focusing instead on how Northwestern was going to help set the boys up for the rest of their lives. We really believe in that school an that program.”.............More At Link
