Host a Reception or Informational Meeting
If your office is available in the evenings or weekends, and you would be willing to host one of our programs, please let us know!

Meet and greet families and share your enthusiasm about Northeastern at short presentations typically lasting one to two hours. You may be asked to speak about your experiences.- Informational Meetings
Sit with parents and family members at informational meetings and share your Northeastern experiences, as well as greet the next family as they arrive.
Drop Off Materials at Local High Schools
If you are in an area where there are no college fairs, you may consider dropping off admissions materials at local high schools.
Make Award Presentations
Northeastern University offers awards and scholarships to our freshman students. Many high schools have awards assemblies and would appreciate having someone representing Northeastern present at these scholarships to their students.
