Northeastern launches into busy events season to welcome the end of the academic year

Winter has come to a close and spring has officially started. Northeastern has  several events planned for the next few weeks to welcome the end of the semester.

The university is jam-packed with activities for people to take part in in the months of April and May before the academic year comes to a close and students and faculty enjoy summer break—or return for the summer session.

APRIL EVENTS:

Saturday, April 2:

Let’s kick it into high gear to welcome the new season! For the first time since 2019, the Springfest Concert returns. This tradition caps  Springfest, a weeklong series organized by Northeastern’s Council for University Programs, or CUP.

Springfest is filled with fun activities such as performances, lectures, themed merchandise, and free food. The lineup for the concert includes Quinn XCII, Remi Wolf, Peach Tree Rascals, and DJ Rilla Force. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. ET and will be held at Matthews Arena.

Thursday, April 7:

Are you interested in learning about different aspects of Northeastern from people who are closest to the work itself? Join this month’s presentation of Meet the University, featuring the Burnes Center, Northeastern’s new university-wide center for social change and social impact.

This program will allow staff members to learn how to contribute to Northeastern 2025 while also growing the university’s collaborative network. The event is taking place from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET at the Egan Research Center on Forsyth Street in Boston.

Tuesday, April 12:

Calling all recipients for the 2022 Compass Awards Program! It’s your time to shine and be recognized for the hard work you have demonstrated to Northeastern.

Each year, there are nine Compass Awards presented, with two additional honors made: the Wendy Breen Kline Award, presented to one senior who shows both leadership and volunteer spirit, and the Garnet Award, which is given to one junior or third-year undergraduate student who demonstrates the same core values as the Compass Award recipients.

The event, organized by Alumni Relations, will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. ET in the Alumni Center, on the sixth floor of Columbus Place, 716 Columbus Ave.
