Compass Awards

Established in 2007, the Office of Alumni Relations is proud to present the Compass Awards, our signature student awards program.

Each spring this program recognizes eight outstanding students from the senior class who, during their time on campus, have demonstrated a true commitment to the core set of values listed below.  

  • Leadership
  • Volunteerism
  • Academic integrity
  • Commitment to Northeastern

Importantly, the Compass Awards program also brings together outstanding student leaders with notable alumni from our Husky family.

Members of the Alumni Association Board and/or other alumni leaders will serve as presenters at the ceremony, as well as long-term mentors to the student recipients -- a great example of how the Northeastern experience can continue to flourish after graduation.

Wendy Breen Kline Award

In addition to the Compass Awards, the Wendy Breen Kline Award will also be presented.

Established in 1997, this award is named in honor of the late Wendy Breen Kline, BB'84, PAH'88, past president of the Alumni Association. Wendy provided outstanding and compassionate leadership as a student and as an alumna.

Program History

This program evolved from the Professional Promise Awards, a past model that was successfully established and implemented by the Alumni Association Board for several years.
