Spreading holiday cheer, the Northeastern community donated hundreds of toys to neighborhood housing developments and community organizations around Boston. On Wednesday, more than 650 students from Boston Public Schools visited the Boston campus for the 15th annual BPS Field Day at Northeastern. From running around on the artificial turf at the Cabot Physical Education Center to cheering on the Northeastern women’s basketball team, the students had a fun-filled day. Meanwhile, the horticulture and grounds team helped plant a new cedar tree outside the Curry Student Center.
