Commencement season is wrapping up at Northeastern. On Wednesday, lifelong learners—both young and old—celebrated their academic achievements at Northeastern’s Seattle commencement. Google executive Felicia Guity provided the newly minted graduates with a powerful send-off. In Canada, computer science graduates received an unexpected ovation at Northeastern’s Vancouver convocation, which was held on Thursday. Back on the Boston campus, the Northeastern community enjoyed an ice cream social, while playing life-size chess and Connect Four.
