KNOW YOUR RESOURCES

Over the past year the university launched a project to establish a framework for the development, approval and updating of university-wide policies and to establish a com-munication/access strategy to make the policies more readily available. Early this summer the Northeastern University Policy Page was launched and over the next several months, new content will be added to this page, including newly revised and/or updated university policies. A new content management system for university policies is being developed and will ultimately house everything. Until development is completed, university policies, handbooks, forms, guidelines and relevant resources will be accessible through this website. Any copies (print or online) of policies that are inconsistent with the official versions posted on this website should be disregarded. In addition this summer three new and/or up-dated policies were released that are of note to all faculty and staff; - Code of Ethical Conduct, - Policy on Confidentiality, and - Policy on Professional Standards and Business Conduct.

It is important that we are familiar with these important policies, to access these policies as well as other content please visit the policy site.

FALL 2014

A MESSAGE FROM PHILOMENA MANTELLA, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT

Fall is in the air!It seems like just last week we were celebrating Commencement, and now here we are welcoming new students to campus! A heartfelt ‘thank-you’ to all of you who helped coordinate and deliver another impres-sive series of orientations, move-ins, and calendar full of Welcome Week activities; your energy and dedication gives the community a real buzz this time of year.

Speaking of buzz, many of you will likely have heard something about the launch of our pilot Husky Commons—an online, social media-like web community for students. Husky Commons provides informa-tion, resources, virtual university services, connections, and live event streaming to our students all over the world, making it easy to stay in touch with our Boston campus and with each other. Components include a dynamic website that aggregates information and resources important to Northeastern’s global students and a private community network where they can connect with one another around their global experiences. Students are able to create a profile, find other students in their area (or where they may be travelling), have discussions, post information about their experiences and remain connected to their fellow students.

Husky Commons is just one facet of this year’s emphasis on expanded and meaningful engagement across our division. In the pages that follow, you’ll learn more about the structure and mission of the Global Network— an enterprise enabling our Colleges to deliver online experiential professional programs in new markets, through new channels and to new industry and corporate audiences by- providing business development capacity, marketing services, regulatory and scaling support. The hope is that over the next few years, we can take the Northeastern advantage to sites all over the world.

I think it’s important to note that this expanded universe of engagement and effort for EMSA does not mean that we are moving away from—or deemphasizing—the core values that have shaped Northeastern into the amazing institution it is today. We have this opportunity to expand because of the quality of our educational value and student experience. I thank you for your focus, dedication, and enthusiasm. Our students and community will continue to benefit from the expertise, resources, and connections we cultivate as a division, and as an institution.

Here’s looking forward to another amazing year of momentum!

With warm regards,

SO, WHAT IS THE GLOBAL NETWORK?

The University’s continued momentum fuels our advancement in all areas: undergraduate, graduate and re-search. Through our leadership in professional experiential graduate education, our colleges and programs have tremendous opportunity to deliver professional programs in new markets, through new channels and to new industry and corporate audiences. The Northeastern University Global Network is an enterprise designed to en-able these goals.

The Global Network is a coalescence of our collective efforts through the last few years of market expansion, regional campus development, and online experiential learning.

Introducing some of the new leadership of the Global Network which are focused on building the mission of the Global Network: - Nick Ducoff is our new Vice President for New Ventures [see spotlight, next page]

- Brian Murphy Clinton has been promoted to Assistant Vice President of Enrollment Management for the Global Network. In this role, Brian is charged with leading the enrollment strategies and operations needed to scale our professional graduate programs. In addition, Brian will continue to oversee all recruiting and enroll-ment functions for the College of Professional Studies. Brian has been at the University for 14 years in a number of roles, including most recently serving as Executive Director of Enrollment Management for the College of Professional Studies. In this role over the last six years, Brian has led CPS’s enrollment efforts through a period of significant growth and innovation. He has led a team of recruiters, enrollment coaches and operations to build strategic enrollment and recruitment plans while maximizing opportunity for efficiencies in the operations and reporting functions. Brian has worked closely with faculty and academic leadership to support new program development and enrollment. In this new role, Brian will be working across all professional graduate programs and with all of our College’s leadership and enrollment teams to develop strategies to help grow the programs that are targeted for global growth.

- Kerry Salerno has been promoted to Assistant Vice President of Enrollment Marketing. In this role, Kerry is charged with leading the marketing efforts focused on scaling the graduate professional portfolio within the Global Network. Additionally, Kerry will continue to oversee the undergraduate enrollment marketing efforts. Kerry has led enrollment marketing through the last 10 years, working closely with University leadership, col-leagues in University Marketing & Communications and academic leadership across our Colleges to develop a strong undergraduate enrollment marketing program to help meet our collective goals. Over the last three years, Kerry has assumed responsibility for marketing efforts within the Graduate Campuses and has built enroll-ment marketing strategies for professional programs targeted for national growth. She has worked with senior leadership to establish a graduate brand and develop integration of our graduate marketing efforts University-wide.

- Yvonne Rogers joined the university this spring as the Director of Industry Engagement for the Global Network. In this new role, she supports college efforts to engage employers as they develop new programs, convert to online formats, or enter regions and markets. This collaborative work is at the center of our vision to ensure that Northeastern’s online experiential programs have the most employer- and market-aligned content and outcomes. Yvonne was most recently the Assistant Director of Employer Relations at Brown University, and from 2005-2011 had been in HR and University Relations/Recruiting leadership roles at John Hancock and Sensata Technologies. Prior to that, from 1998-2005, she worked for a number of years here at the university as the manager of the MBA Career Center, a Marketing Co-op Faculty Coordinator, and as the Associate Director of Alumni Relations in Advancement. She also has a number of years experience in marketing prior to her time at Northeastern, and she is a double Husky holding both an M.S. and B.S. from Northeastern.

A NEW FACE TO SUPPORT NEW VENTURES

Nick Ducoff joins the Global Network team as the newly created Vice President for New Ventures. Nick comes to Northeastern from Boundless Learning Inc., an education technology firm based in Boston’s Leather District that provides open source digital learning content such as textbooks and customizable teaching platforms for students and educators. Nick led the venture-backed company as vice president of content and opera-tions since 2012.

In his new role, Nick will spend time looking to create new op-portunities and revenue streams that support the University’s strategic growth and expansion. Going forward, some of Nick’s work will fall under a strategic skunkworks brand of nuEX.

In the past, Nick was co-founder and CEO of Austin-based big data firm Infochimps, which was sold to CSC in August 2013. He was named VP of content at Boundless in 2012.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in business from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University in 2003. He graduated with honors from The University of Texas School of Law at Austin in 2006 and was awarded his juris doctor and completed MBA-level coursework in economics, finance, management and marketing.

In June DR. CHERYL RICHARDS, DEAN AND CEO OF THE CHARLOTTE CAMPUS, WAS NAMED “WOMAN OF THE YEAR” as part of the Mecklenburg Times’ 50 Most Influen-tial Women event. The annual event spotlights the most influential women in business, government, education, and the nonprofit fields in the greater Charlotte area. She previously was named among the most influential women by the Mecklenburg Times’ and was recognized by the Charlotte Business Journal as a 40 Under Forty leader.

The 50 Most Influential Women honorees are nominated--and then selected--based on professional accomplish-ment and community involvement within the Charlotte area.

Cheryl is a recognized leader in the Charlotte community. She served two terms on the Charlotte Chamber of Com-merce’s executive committee and three years as chair of the education and work-force development committee. She is past-president of Women Executives and remains on that board, along with serving on the boards of MeckEd, Smart Start of Mecklenburg County and Apparo. Nation-ally, she serves on the Chair Academy’s Worldwide Leader-ship Training International Practitioners and Presidents’ Board.

When she moved to Charlotte 10 years ago, Cheryl said one of the first pieces of advice she received was to vol-unteer often and give back to the community. “It is part of the culture of Charlotte to be involved,” Cheryl says. “The community is really built on volunteer leadership.”
