Professional Development
Students engage in experiential learning opportunities through on-campus and off-campus professional experiences for growth, to network, and to prepare them for their future careers.
L.A.T.I.N.X.
Latinx Accessing Their Intellect through Networking and Exchange (L.A.T.I.N.X.) is the brand for professional development opportunities offered through the LSCC in collaboration with on campus and off campus partners, in order to provide thoughtful, experiential, and diverse opportunities for all Northeastern students.
PODER (Promoting Our Diaspora through Empowerment and Resources) Program
What is PODER?
In Spanish, the word poder means “power” but it’s also a verb that means “can” or “be able to” – like ¡Sí se puede! (Yes we can!)
PODER aims to give first-year, first-generation students the power to take control over their transition into Northeastern and give them the resources to succeed throughout their journey. Through one-on-one mentor-mentee relationships, social events, retreats, and workshops, PODER students learn the mechanics of a successful Northeastern experience while fostering a sense of community (familia) that they can turn to.
Qualifications:
- Be an incoming student at Northeastern University (whether freshmen or transfer) who identifies as a first-generation student, regardless of sexuality, immigration status, gender/gender expression, and or ability, etc.
