One year after their initial meeting, two Northeastern professors from opposite coasts have been honored for leveraging the university’s global network to solve problems in local communities.
Alicia Sasser Modestino (based on the Boston campus) and Carrie Maultsby-Lute (Oakland) are joint recipients of Northeastern’s inaugural Network Accelerator Award. Together they’ve launched a Northeastern-sponsored organization, Community to Community, which uses research to confront difficult problems and develop long-term solutions based on the needs of the community. Community to Community is one of many impact accelerators and engines deployed by Northeastern to solve problems by clustering together expertise from a variety of disciplines and experiences.
