About the event
The end of one chapter. The beginning of the next.
Retirement from Northeastern is a culmination, rather than a departure. It represents years, often decades, of work that shaped classrooms, research, operations, and the lives of thousands of students and colleagues.
The Retirees Dinner is Northeastern’s annual formal event honoring faculty and staff who are retiring from the university. Retirees join senior university leadership for an evening of recognition, storytelling, and gratitude.
It is an opportunity for the university to thank those whose work has had an impact and will continue to do so.
