Northeastern

Making the Future—and Making It Human

Opportunity
The University that put experiential learning on the map a century ago is now decidedly at home in a bold future, inclusively leading communities of thinkers and problem-solvers around the world to fast-track explorations of tough challenges. As Northeastern approached a campaign to raise $1.3 billion, it was essential to ensure all generations of alumni would see themselves in storytelling about this ever-evolving institution.
Insight:

At its core, the process of making meaning and value out of input and evidence is the same exercise in human intelligence and creativity it always was.
