Creating a Summertime Hub for Our Community
During the summer months Northeastern’s campus, unlike that of many other universities, is alive with energy and activity. Nearly half of our students pursue academic work during the summer—many of them on campus as well as in study abroad or online. Many others pursue fulltime co-op jobs or other forms of experiential learning, around the world as well as in Boston. Students, alumni, and other members of the Northeastern family come back to connect to friends through Northeastern’s Summester program of excursions and activities highlighting the best of summertime Boston and the region.
Adding to the excitement around campus this summer are the young people from our neighborhoods who participate in the many summer programs we offer. As an institution deeply rooted in the Boston community, we’re committed to involving Boston youths in activities and events at Northeastern throughout the year. At no time is it more important and more rewarding to engage the young people of our community than during the summer months, when we can combine active enjoyments with active learning.
