This week, Northeastern ROTC cadets powered through an early-morning PT session on Carter Field on the Boston campus. Meanwhile, students in London traveled to the Cambridge American Cemetery to reflect on the sacrifices of those who served in World War II. Back in Boston, the Northeastern community came together to celebrate school spirit at the annual Husky Spirit Day party. Plus, students worked on biology research and information systems projects.
