This week, the Northeastern community honored triple Husky Deanna Jantzen with a Distinguished Service Award for her enduring contributions to the university. A celebratory event was held for Jantzen at the Endicott Estate in Dedham, Massachusetts. On the Boston campus, students were busy in the Makerspace. While one student worked on a personal sewing project, others worked on a final engineering project. Meanwhile, digital media producer Michaela Quigley shared tips for running in the winter, including joining a running club and wearing a headlamp for days when you don’t get out the door until after dark.
