February 2019 in photos by Matthew Modoono March 6, 2019 Share Facebook LinkedIn Twitter Students are reflected in the Veterans Memorial as they walk down Forsyth Street on Feb. 25, 2019. Photo by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University In February, we saw the second of two Beanpot wins in as many years, ambitious projects by students come to life, boats built in a centuries-old workshop, and more. Relive February through the lenses of Matthew Modoono and Adam Glanzman. Northeastern’s award-winning photographers. This month, Ken Henderson was named Chancellor at Northeastern, a position in which he’ll oversee undergraduate and experiential learning, student affairs, enrollment management, digital and mobile learning, lifelong learning across the university’s globally integrated system of campuses, and the university’s PhD Network. Henderson is pictured here on Feb. 8, 2019, just days before taking on his new role. Photo by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University Tiffany Yu, who is studying English and theater at Northeastern University, “wanted to make art” with her peers in theater across the city of Boston. When she couldn’t find such a group, she created one. Seen here posing for a portrait on Feb. 26, 2019.

During the busiest times of the year, upwards of 13,000 students will enter and exit “Club Snell” daily.

Both games were held at TD Garden in Boston. Photos by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University Whether they’re conducting research in Antarctica, working at a supply chain company in China, attending a lecture on the internet of things at Northeastern’s Seattle campus, or leading the Huskies to victory in a game in Boston, Northeastern students never stop learning through experience. And now students can track it all through a platform called SAIL. Colin Mullaney, Erykah Kangbeya, and Miracle Olatunji, pictured here, are students on the advisory board of SAIL. Photo by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University By now, internet users realize that they are being tracked online. But what many don’t realize is that every click they make contains information that is sold to advertisers, who wage real-time bidding wars for users’ attention. Ahmad Bashir, pictured here, wanted to fix that. He developed a new technique to discover the extent to which personal data gets shared with online advertising companies. Photo by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University Students walk through West Village H on Feb. 11, 2019. This stirring effect was created by shooting the reflection of the students on a graphic red and white wall in the building.

Photo by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University Google, Facebook, Uber, YouTube, Amazon: Each uses algorithms that can shape people’s daily lives, but most people have no idea how these platforms work, and which data they’re using to produce their results. Christo Wilson, associate professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences and pictured here on Feb. 12, 2019, is trying to change that. Photos by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University Kalon Boston, Leo Belyi, and Blake Hatch, seen here on Feb. 12, 2019, are the students behind Vastus, a platform where users complete fitness challenges for prizes and connect with personal trainers. Photo by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University Students walk past the Snell Engineering building on Feb. 4, 2019. Students are so inundated by the onslaught of news that some can have difficulty distinguishing between what’s real and what’s fake, recent research from Northeastern University found. Photo by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University Though it may not appear this way in February, Krentzman Quad, home to the reflective puddle pictured here, bustles with activity in the spring as students showcase clubs and activities. Photo by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University The reunion with the Terriers at the Beanpot semifinals turned into a goalie showdown between Northeastern’s Cayden Primeau and Boston University’s Jake Oettinger. Northeastern prevailed, 2-1, in overtime. Photos by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University No one wants to feel like a tourist. Lucrezia Senesi, who is studying business administration, did something to help. She created a website that pairs travelers with local guides.

Photo by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University The Northeastern Huskies found themselves celebrating an achievement that lay beyond the reach of so many predecessors—their first back-to-back Beanpot titles since 1984-85. They beat Boston College 4-2 at TD Garden in a championship final that consistently defied the scoreboard. Photos by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University Researcher Reuben Shipway, right, “is the shipworm whisperer,” says Dan Distel, left. Together, they discovered a new genus of shipworm, announced in November of 2018, which marked the first time a new genus had been described since 1933. Photos by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University Students survey the landscape for a class outside the Egan Research Center on Feb. 15, 2019. Techniques and equipment such as that used by the students in this photo are used to create a three-dimensional picture of the landscape as well as its scale. Photo by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University Hundreds of cold cases have been uncovered, investigated, and brought to light by the Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project, which is led by Margaret Burnham, University Distinguished Professor of Law. One of those cases, which tells the story of Rayfield Davis, was recently made into a documentary called “Murder in Mobile.” Photos by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University A student walks down the steps outside of the Curry Student Center on Feb. 27, 2019. The Northeastern tunnel system, which passes through Curry, is a little-known gem of the university. Photo by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University As the trophy was raised on the ice after the 2019 Beanpot championship, Northeastern’s fans upstairs were carrying on with their familiar chant. “Let’s go, Huskies!” they sang.

Kayse Lee Maass, an assistant professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at Northeastern, believes engineers have tools that can help. Photo by Adam Glanzman/Northeastern University “Leadership is a human attribute; machines are not leaders,” President Joseph E. Aoun told members of the Student Government Association on Feb. 25, 2019. “You’re going to shape the future, instead of being shaped by it.” Photo by Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University “I’m trying to get my physical therapy students exposure with the athletic training crowd and build relationships there,” says Stephen Clark, who leads a “Managing the Injured Athlete” class at Northeastern. Students in the class get hands-on practice in spineboarding at Matthews Arena on Feb. 8, 2019.

Wu collected data about the negativity and positivity of tweets from 2018 election candidates, finding that Democrats who won their elections tended to use more negative language on Twitter.

Snow piles up along the walkways, and it turns out that, contrary to the popular idiom, snowflakes aren’t all that unique.
