Title: “Cultivating Community”

On the Boston campus, Northeastern students and faculty have the privilege of being surrounded by vibrant and eclectic communities just a walk away. This presents both an opportunity and a duty to work alongside nearby neighborhoods to meet sustainability and equitability goals. In this piece, the diverse Northeastern and Roxbury communities are seen planting “seeds of change”, cultivating a garden of support and allyship. The ISEC bridge transitioning into the Roxbury community garden represents the collaboration and encouragement we want to amplify between Northeastern and adjacent communities.
