Manager, Community Outreach
As the Center for Talent Development (CTD) community outreach coordinator for the last three years, Tammie Stewart has connected with thousands of students, parents and school personnel to educate them about Northwestern University's Midwest Academic Talent Search (NUMATS) and the Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholars Program. She enjoys introducing people to programs that can be academically enriching and life changing as well. She is especially passionate about providing students in financial need with opportunities and options that can lead to a future brighter than they or their parents ever dreamed possible. Prior to joining CTD, Tammie produced and edited television programs and taught television production, too. Tammie holds a bachelor of arts in communications from Northern Illinois University and is continually honing her communication skills through courses in American Sign Language and Spanish. She is active in the community, working part-time at a communal living shelter for battered women and children. For fun, Tammie has been hot air ballooning, white water rafting and skydiving. She has also flown a four-passenger Cessna airplane and is currently seeking her next adventure!
