It was a week of pride, discovery and community at Northeastern University. In Florida, former student and Tuskegee airman Daniel Keel was honored for his lifetime of service. In Burlington, researchers at the Kostas Research Institute unveiled a new plant health-monitoring device that changes color to signal problems. And in Boston, members of the university’s External Affairs team gave back by packing meals for people living with chronic illnesses.
