💜🐾 Wildcat Leadership, Global Connections & Northwestern Pride!

The Northwestern University joy and pride continued at this year’s NU Alumni Association Leadership Symposium!

It was especially meaningful to participate in my new role as Pres. of the Northwestern Chicago Club, connecting with fellow Wildcat alumni leaders from around the world.

Spending two inspiring days exchanging ideas, sharing experiences, building new friendships, and learning how other alumni clubs are strengthening their communities was a wonderful reminder of what makes our NU family so special. 💜

A particular highlight was the NU Leadership Awards Dinner, celebrating outstanding individuals and alumni clubs from around the world for their extraordinary service, creativity, and innovation in advancing NU’s mission.

Leadership is ultimately about service, connection, and creating opportunities for others to thrive. And what better way to celebrate those values than alongside fellow Wildcats who generously give their time and talents to our University!

Here’s to Wildcat leadership, lifelong connections, and the extraordinary power of giving back!

Lastly, tremendous thanks to the entire NAA team for a fantastic and successful event!💜🐾

Go ’Cats!

💜🐾 Homecoming with Heart: Wildcat Pride & the Joy of Giving Back

This year’s Northwestern University Homecoming carried double the joy: celebrating the University I love and returning in my new role as President of the Northwestern Club of Chicago (NUCC)!

A special highlight was meeting our new Northwestern President, Mung Chiang, and NAA Board President, Jack Kang . As an Asian American alumnus, standing next to these two accomplished Asian Americans in their leadership roles filled me with particular joy and pride—a meaningful reminder of the power of representation and what future Wildcats can aspire to. 💜✨

From Friday’s Northwestern Medill School Dean’s reception and NU Alumni Association NU-A5 & NUPAC receptions, the weekend was filled with joyful reunions and wonderful new friendships.

Proud to be a Wildcat. Grateful to serve. Excited for all we can build together!

Go ’Cats! 💜🐾

Late Post, Timeless Friendship! 🥂

A little belated—but such a joy catching up with my longtime friend David Park on his recent Chicago visit!

Great friendships have a way of enduring time, distance…and apparently even a tardy social media post. 😂

Amazing company and dinner at Oak & Honey

🇰🇷🥢Korean Food, Lifelong Friendship & Lots of NYC LOVE! ❤️ 🗽

What a fantastic NYC day with one of my longtime & very special friends, T.J. Campbell

Despite the horrendous rain, we made the most of it with a meaningful visit to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum followed by an incredible Korean dinner in New York Koreatown.

And how perfect to dine at LOVE Love Korean BBQ —a fitting name for a restaurant and friendship filled with years of laughter, adventures, great food, and unforgettable memories. ❤️

🕯️Remembering 9/11: 25 Years Later 🇺🇸

The rain and gray skies on my New York trip somehow felt fitting to visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum , especially during this month marking 25 years since that horrific day.

I knew it would be emotional. I wasn’t prepared for how often I’d find myself wiping away tears—especially confronting the stories of those trapped above the flames who fell or were forced into unimaginable choices.

25 years later, we remember the thousands lost on Sep. 11, those who later died from 9/11-related illnesses, and the many lives lost in the wars that followed.

Most importantly, the intention was simply to remember, reflect, and honor those lives that were forever changed. 🕯️❤️

🗽🌈 WELCOME TO NEW YORK…IT’S BEEN WAITING FOR US! ✨🥂

What a fantastic weekend in NYC for our LGBTQ+ Victory Institute Fall Board Meeting! Even the awful weather couldn’t dampen the joy of being together with fellow Board members—many of whom have truly become dear friends. ❤️🌧️

The weekend was made even more special with a beautiful dinner in a spectacular penthouse overlooking Manhattan. Talk about dinner with a view! 🗽

Tremendous thanks to our hosts and special guests, including New York State Senator Erik Bottcher and NYCCouncil Member Council Member Carl Wilson, whose public service so powerfully reflects why LGBTQ+ representation and governing power matter! 🌈💪

I’m incredibly proud to serve on the Board of the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute and to support its vital work developing and advancing LGBTQ+ leaders who can make a difference in the halls of power.

Great friends. Great city. Great purpose. What a weekend! ❤️🗽✨

GO CUBS GO!! ⚾️🎉

How amazing to catch the cubs final home game of the season at Wrigley Field —and even sweeter with the Cubs headed to the playoffs! 🐻💙❤️

Many thanks to my awesome friend, Austin Baidas , for the invitation AND incredible home plate seats…especially on a warm, fantastic fall afternoon!!

I have such fond memories of Cubs games at Wrigley during my college years at Northwestern University . Nearly four decades later, getting to cheer them on again—now as a Chicago resident—makes it all the more joyful and special.

Some things just get better with time. Playoff bound…GO CUBS GO! 🐻🎉⚾️

🥂SIX-O & SO GRATEFUL✨

A little belated—but very heartfelt—THANK YOU to my family, friends, and loved ones from around the world who showered me with birthday wishes, calls, texts, posts, and so much love as I celebrated the Big SIX-O earlier this month! ❤️🌎

And what a birthday it was! I started my 60s exactly how I hope to live them: moving, experiencing, celebrating, and savoring life fully.

The day began with a great workout at the outdoor fitness station along the beautiful lakefront, followed by an afternoon ½-mile swim in Lake Michigan. ☀️

Then it was time to trade the swim gear for birthday finery and celebrate SIX-O at Michelin-starred BOKA Chicago with an extraordinary 8-course tasting menu and w**e pairing. (see pic for full menu) 🏊‍♂️

Most of all, I’m incredibly grateful for the people who’ve filled these first 60 years with so much friendship, laughter, love, adventure, and meaning. Thank you for celebrating this milestone with me these past few days—whether from Chicago or from halfway around the world. 💕

If the first days are any indication, I have to say: the start of my 60s—and this next decade—already look pretty amazing! 😎

Here’s to SIX-O and the journey ahead! 🎉

With Joy & Gratitude,
Dr. Jay Kumar

🥂Cheers to SIX-O—and the Journey Ahead! 😊

There’s a certain wisdom that comes with closing one decade and beginning another: realizing that a rich life isn’t measured simply by the years we’ve lived, but by the people we love, the friendships we cherish, and the experiences that make those years matter.

As I prepare to welcome 60, I’m raising a glass to living this next chapter even more fully, joyfully, and richly—with family and friends by my side. 🥂❤️

Thank you to everyone who has celebrated with me along the way. Here’s to SIX-O, new adventures, and all that lies ahead! 🎉✨
