Situation Updates for the Center for STEM Education
As members of our community are certainly aware, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant changes to operations of Northeastern University, our local community, and our nation. We would like to let you know how we anticipate these changes might affect the work of the Center for STEM Education. The response to COVID-19 is rapidly evolving, and further adjustments may be necessary. We encourage everyone to stay informed by checking the university’s dedicated COVID-19 website frequently. Also consider reading through this guide for what to do to stay safe and resilient during this challenging time.
The well-being of everyone in the Northeastern community is always paramount, and we encourage everyone to take care of themselves and one another as we navigate these challenging times together. Parents, students and faculty may contact us if you encounter questions or challenges moving forward.
