People in this story

A Massachusetts organization devoted to supporting people of color working in the criminal justice system named Northeastern’s Michael Davis a distinguished fellow. Davis, the university’s vice president of global safety and policing, received the honor from the George Lewis Ruffin Society during an induction ceremony held Wednesday night at Northeastern’s Alumni Center.

The Ruffin Society was founded 40 years ago in partnership with Northeastern. Jack McDevitt, a university professor emeritus and member of the society’s board of directors, said Davis was a natural choice for the first group of 18 honorees. “He’s done a remarkable job of bringing public safety to all of the Northeastern campuses and dealing with the complexity of having students all over the world,” said McDevitt, who previously headed Northeastern’s Institute on Race and Justice.
