Northeastern held a ceremony last week to honor the 23 students from 14 Bay Area high schools who spent five weeks on the university’s Oakland campus receiving job training, college preparatory coaching and career counseling. But they received so much more.

The ceremony was a time for the students to reflect on working in 10 departments across campus, while gaining skills in farming, sustainability, administration, community outreach and teaching.

From orientation to graduation, it had been quite a summer.
