The year is coming to an end. While reflecting on past experiences, international graduate students and host families shared why they are thankful for Northeastern’s “Home Away From Home” program. Meanwhile, as part of Northeastern’s annual toy drive, the City and Community Engagement team delivered donated toys and gifts to families in the Boston area, helping to brighten kids’ holidays.
