Your engagement energizes and informs our efforts to expand our global university system, forge pioneering partnerships, and equip new generations to be the leaders and creators of a healthier, safer, and more sustainable tomorrow.

Today, you join some of our community’s most accomplished members in advancing our global mission and strengthening the human connections that power everything we do. Thank you for your invaluable work, your input, and your leadership. And welcome to Northeastern’s third annual Networked for Life celebrations!
