“We had an incredible year for student involvement,” says Chris McGill, director of Student Activities, Leadership & Scholarship. “This event is a time to recognize student organizations and advisors for their time and talents. We want to thank all who add to the quality of life at Northeastern.”
The ceremony will also announce the five student organizations and five student leaders who won the Husky Leadership Award, which recognizes those who have positively impacted campus life and shown quality leadership to others.
The Student Center Awards will recognize Student Center Employees of the Year, Student Center Leader of the Year, and Unsung Hero.
"Beyond the classroom and co-op, Northeastern is a campus rich with opportunity,” says Ed Klotzbier, vice president for Student Affairs. “This night is to honor both students and student organizations who this year have done some remarkable things to add to the student experience here on campus. Our student groups promote diversity, culture, career networking, academic enhancement, and entertainment. They are creative and hardworking, and the hours they put into creating a fulfilling experience on campus not only make it fun to go to school here, but enhance our goals for practice-oriented education.”
