The traditional welcoming ceremony for first-year and transfer students will look and feel different. But there’s no shortage of ways to get involved and make friends through student organizations, club sports, and other university offices and departments.

Northeastern is suspending operations on Monday to hold two live events focused on unity, equality, and justice. A morning vigil will be held in response to the killing of George Floyd and other Black people, to be followed by a discussion on civil rights and justice.
On Thursday, Joseph E. Aoun, president of Northeastern, will sit down for a conversation with Alessandro Vespignani, the director of Northeastern’s Network Science Institute, who is leading one of the major efforts to model this disease.
“Over the last few weeks, we have increasingly turned our attention to advanced scenario planning for the summer and upcoming fall term. Knowing that a return to regular operations is on the mind of everyone in our community, I’m writing to provide an update on the current state of our planning.”
