Joseph E. Aoun
President of Northeastern University

“Academics have always worked best for me when I can apply what I learn immediately. The day after a class, I can almost always apply what I've learned to something I'm doing at work. For example, when I was taking an entrepreneurship class last summer, I was able to apply what we learned about investor relations to the challenges faced by a company I was working with in Bangkok.”
Chris Moore, MBA ‘21
