"Northeastern University provides a dynamic and diverse environment where faculty and staff have a unique opportunity to flourish amid a broad spectrum of perspectives and areas of expertise.
Our community of students and scholars is among the most culturally diverse in the nation - representing more than 130 countries. Such potential for intercultural learning stimulates incredible personal and professional development for us all."
- Scott Quint, Assistant Dean and Director of the International Student & Scholar Institute
"The University regularly solicits the opinions and concerns of its employees through a number of advisory councils and annual review committees. As a member of the support staff, it's a privilege to have my voice heard and valued in these forums by the president and university management. A high point for me each year is serving on a committee that selects the worthy recipients of one of Northeastern's most generous service recognition awards."
