With the July Fourth weekend around the corner, summer energy was in full swing on Northeastern’s Boston campus. New students tested their skills at orientation with oversized Jenga and lawn games on Krentzman Quad, while others soaked in the sunshine between sessions or explored new friendships.
At Northeastern’s Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex, students shifted their focus toward building technology with impact, such as ZOR!, a beta app designed to support epilepsy management.
Elsewhere on the Boston campus, quieter moments of reflection, study, and stillness were offered. From play to purpose, these photos capture a week of fresh starts and summer rhythm.
