This week, Northeastern students put new research tools into action, implementing special interactive keyboards to help elementary kids learn in Arlington, Virginia. The women’s hockey team celebrated a big win against Boston College — their last game in Matthews Arena, before the building comes down to make way for the new multi-purpose athletics and recreation complex. Meanwhile, students played with the campus pups to lessen the stress during finals, and comic Alex Edelman brought the laughs during his sit down with Dr. Charles Steinberg, president of the Worcester Red Sox.
