UPLIFT Seminars
The seminars featured on this page have been generously given by Northeastern University faculty and specifically tailored to potential UPLIFT students. Please note that some of the seminars were recorded as part of a live UPLIFT session during previous falls; these will feature a Q&A segment at the end for participants who had attended synchronously. This page will continue to be populated with seminars throughout the semester.
If you are interested in applying for the research component of UPLIFT in the spring, please be sure to complete this reflection survey after watching. The reflection serves as confirmation of your attendance at the respective seminar or indication that you watched an asynchronous faculty presentation. In order to be eligible to apply for the research component of UPLIFT, you need to attend/watch AND reflect upon at least four seminars, thus, you will complete this survey at least four times – once for each different presentation. However, we ask that you please reflect mindfully and thoroughly on all presentations you attend/watch.
