This week at Northeastern, spring was in full bloom across campuses from Boston to London. Students presented innovative research at the 2025 RISE Expo in Matthews Arena and showcased engineering projects at the London campus. In Boston, the community gathered to celebrate academic achievement at the Academic Honors Convocation and the Huntington 100 and Laurel & Scroll induction ceremonies.

Portraits highlighted faculty impact, including physics professor Kin Chung Fong’s work in Burlington, while students volunteered for the annual off-campus spring cleanup. The 25-Year Associates’ Brunch honored longtime faculty and staff, and President Joseph E. Aoun welcomed guests at several milestone events.
