Cookies are not shared between testfaculty.northwestern.edu and www.google.com, even if testfaculty.northwestern.edu is hosted by Google. The sending of your cookies is governed by your web browser, which has no way of knowing that testfaculty.northwestern.edu is hosted by Google, and even if it did, it would not be allowed to send those cookies to google. See sections 4.3.4 and 8.3 of RFC 2019 for the relevant standard. You can use a tool such as LiveHTTPHeaders in Firefox to verify your browser is not sending the northwestern cookies (containing the authentication token) to Google. If you aren't authenticating to www.google.com, then you aren't going be able to see a calendar at google.com.
Given that, there remain two possible solutions on the table, use a email address from northwestern.edu to authenticate to www.google.com (might work, don't know) or figure out calendar link at northwestern.edu to use for embedding. I don't know whether Google Apps supports embedded calendars or not.
