NORTHWEST
POSTCARD The hit-making pop trio AJR rocked the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse for an April 8 concert sponsored by Northwest’s Student Activities Council. The SAC concert, which typically happens annually on the campus, was the first at Northwest since before the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was the first to occur in the Hughes Fieldhouse, further demonstrating the varied uses of the facility. Opened in the fall of 2018, the 137,250-square-foot recreation and multipurpose building – the largest publicprivate partnership in Northwest’s history and one of the largest-ever in the region – has played host to indoor track and field meets, career fairs, Bearcat volleyball, intramurals and academic courses, as well as last year’s COVID-19 vaccine clinics.
