Just like that, Huskies made it through another eventful week! On Monday, the men’s hockey game against Boston University ended in a nail-biting shootout. Speaking of sports, a neuroscience student is headed to the Super Bowl. No, she won’t be playing – but she will be on the field, cheering the Patriots on! And President Joseph E. Aoun, alongside Mayor Wu, broke ground at 840 Columbus Ave, Northeastern’s upcoming dorm building. An arctic front is on its way this weekend, so bundle up in Boston, Huskies; but the good news is that longer, sunnier days are still ahead.
