This week, Northeastern held its undergraduate and graduate commencement celebrations at Boston’s historic Fenway Park, where the Class of 2025 turned tassels and tossed caps beneath sunny skies.

Keynote speakers David Roux and Elliot Grainge joined President Joseph E. Aoun in honoring the achievements of newly minted graduates.

Beyond the ceremonies, students made the most of warm spring days by reading, relaxing and prepping for finals across campus, while crews cleaned the koi pond outside Curry Student Center.
