Northeastern’s global network grew
In the ongoing mission to redefine higher education the world around, Northeastern launched campuses in London and Vancouver. The university formed partnerships that will increase the number of women and underrepresented minorities in computing. Northeastern invested in international defense of cyberspace, and expanded our reach in experiential artificial intelligence.
We reported from all over the world
News@Northeastern covered the stories that matter around the globe. We had boots on the ground in Costa Rica, Australia, Kenya, and beyond, as part of our continuing mission to tell the stories where they are happening.
Northeastern researchers made breakthroughs in the sciences
Researchers discovered a new species of shipworm that eats rocks, unearthed and explored bias in the advertising algorithms of Facebook, and developed a new drug design that targets triple-negative breast cancer; this was just a small sample of the cutting-edge research going on in the university’s labs.
Northeastern made headlines…
The university’s research, discoveries, and innovations continue to make headlines in many of the world’s leading media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Vice, the Financial Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
… and we analyzed the news everyone was talking about
What made Bird Box a cultural phenomenon? Did babies really deserve to be targeted with slices of thrown cheese? What conclusions could be drawn from a teenager’s infamous encounter with a Native American elder? News@Northeastern asked questions, and Northeastern faculty had the answers.
Northeastern celebrated the Class of 2019
Award-winning author Tara Westover urged students from the Class of 2019 to embrace their “un-Instagramable selves.” Our graduates launched trailblazing business ventures, conducted groundbreaking research, and earned national and international recognition along the way.
The Huskies kept winning
The Northeastern men’s hockey team successfully defended their Beanpot title on the way to another NCAA Tournament appearance. The highly ranked women’s hockey team made a push of their own in the NCAAs, and the men’s basketball team went dancing in March Madness. It was another banner year for athletics.
Students and graduates shared their experiences…
The first female hockey referee in the NHL. The disruptor who turned Thailand’s car industry upside-down. The pledge to keep secret a reunion of the Jonas Brothers. News@Northeastern covered the events of our students and alumni that add depth and wonder to Northeastern.
…and News@Northeastern brought these stories to life
We augmented our rich storytelling with stellar photography, award-winning documentaries, and innovative design.
And, as always, we had fun
Through it all, News@Northeastern reminded you, the reader, that we will always be global leaders in having a good time. We battled squirrels, told our best dad jokes, and helped Northeastern’s president, Joseph E. Aoun, navigate an airport with a fully-cooked turkey (when he wasn’t scrambling, Parkour-style, across Boston).
Look for an even better, more-exciting 2020.
