Happy Friday, Huskies! This week, cherry blossoms burst into bloom across the Boston campus, drawing students outside to soak up the sunshine in Centennial Common and Krentzman Quad. Academic excellence took center stage as Northeastern celebrated scholars and innovators at the 16th annual Academic Honors Convocation in Blackman Auditorium, the Huntington 100 and Laurel and Scroll induction ceremonies, and the Presidential Ambassador Senior Reception — all recognizing the outstanding achievements of students and faculty.
