Covid-19
When Northeastern closed campus earlier this spring, we were saddened by this tough situation. College is an incredible time in a young person’s life. Students love living on campus, hanging with friends, and creating their community.
We have constantly been hearing from students since then. Some are lonely, scared, and isolated. Some are still alone in their apartments for fear of getting or giving the illness to a family member. Some have been unable to travel home due to fear of getting sick.
Since we transitioned online in March, we have welcomed hundreds of students to over 100 programs. More important, we have been there for our students when they need us most. Our staff and student interns have conducted hundreds of one-on-one interactions during this tough time. When students connect on Zoom with us, they share their emotions, challenges, and successes – and we celebrate them and listen to them.
We are committed to making sure that Northeastern Hillel is a safe place for students. We will be following the guidelines of Northeastern University. In addition, we will distribute masks, hand sanitizer, and are purchasing air purifiers with UV-C light in our building, which kills up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses.
If we host events, they will be held outside or at larger spaces on campus. At Hillel, we will be following Northeastern University guidelines in terms of capacity. As this is a relatively quickly evolving situation, more will come as we get closer to the academic year. As of now, Hillel is open by appointment only.
If you have any questions or concerns, or just need someone to talk to. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
