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.

Past Outstanding Alumni Award recipients and/or current 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.
