I can honestly say that I have never worked with a better facility and staff in all my 20 years in the special events industry. From the time we began our planning-right through to the final goodbye-every person associated with the McNamara Alumni Center bent over backwards to understand our needs, offer advice, support and solutions, and deliver everything that was promised.

I wish I could convince all of our course directors to hold their conferences at the McNamara Alumni Center. I’ve never received so many unsolicited comments praising the location and food! I look forward to working with their wonderful staff again.

The Alumni Center is a fantastic place to throw a party! The staff gave us the feeling that they cared as much about our daughter’s wedding as we did.

The Alumni Center’s audio visual capabilities are outstanding. At the last minute we required a live video feed to our overflow seating and the staff cheerfully responded with, ‘Yes, we can do that.’ I was extremely pleased.

The Alumni Center is a great space - the architecture is so alive and dynamic. The huge projection screen makes our video presentations very powerful.

The Alumni Center is a tremendous location for a conference. It is conveniently located, its meeting rooms have distinguishing characteristics and the service was outstanding. I received many unsolicited comments praising the location by our conference attendees.

Nothing, and we mean nothing, could have gone better on our wedding night and we thank you for that. The building, set-up & AV were all amazing.
