EAD 360 is a component of Northeasterns experiential learning model which uniquely prepares students to lead in a complex global society. Through dynamic programming, Northeastern prepares students to recognize leadership as a collection of diverse experiences and a process of lifelong learning.

The programs offered through LEAD 360 give students the opportunity to discover leadership through multiple perspectives and meet new people who do not live in their residence halls or are not in their academic classes and yet share the common interest of leadership. This enables them to lead in their classes, co-curricular activities, co-ops, and ultimately their careers.
BLUEPRINT: FIRST-YEAR LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

raternities and sororities are comprised of men and women dedicated to a lifetime bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. Fraternity and sorority life at Northeastern University provides a unique and diverse opportunity. The Northeastern fraternal community is vibrant and consistently prioritizes leadership, scholarship, service, and brotherhood/sisterhood in all that they do. Our organizations create a community where men and women can grow as individuals, while experiencing safe and healthy social, philanthropic and academic endeavors. Individual chapters seek to provide their members opportunities to serve the community, enhance leadership skills and strive for high academic standards. The Fraternity/Sorority Life & Student Leadership office works alongside students, (inter)national offices, and alumni/ae, to support fraternity men and sorority women and provide opportunities that will enhance their college career and life beyond graduation.

BLUEPRINT assists first-year students in developing a framework for their leadership paths. In BLUEPRINT, sessions are facilitated by one upperclass student and a faculty member or administrator. Participants attend 8 weekly sessions, lasting 75 minutes each and take part in a team building retreat. This program is great for students who want a springboard for their involvement at the university.
