Khoury Stories

Meet Andrea Grimes Parker

From her earliest undergraduate days through her joint faculty appointment years later, Andrea Grimes Parker embraced Khoury College’s interdisciplinary approach. In the process, she built a robust research resume in her chosen field of human-computer interaction.

Meet Marvin Sagastume

Marvin Sagastume found himself drawn to Northeastern by Khoury College’s combined majors, giving him the opportunity to blend his computing passion with something wider. Now at Outcomes4Me, he’s doing just that by helping to develop a user-friendly information platform for cancer patients.

Meet Becky Mashaido

For Becky Mashaido, the draw of Align was straightforward — a master’s program in computing that offered access to San Francisco’s tech pioneers, but did not require an undergraduate CS degree. And after finding a unique and uplifting sense of community there, she made it her mission to uplift others.

Meet Glen Coppersmith

When Glen Coppersmith graduated from Northeastern in 2004, he did so with a CS–psychology double degree that was highly unusual at the time. Two decades later, he’s carved out a career by strengthening the quantity, quality, and utility of data for mental health treatment.

Meet Katie Lowen

For a time, Katie Lowen was touring internationally as a contemporary dancer. But when the pandemic closed down theaters, she sought another avenue to develop herself. Now, earning her master’s in computer science through the Align program in Vancouver, Katie finds herself immersed in a career path she’d never imagined.

Meet Mani Sundaram

When he came from India to the United States for graduate school with only enough money for a one-way flight, Mani Sundaram landed at Northeastern purely by accident. But everything that has happened since then — from his startup work to his internet security leadership to his drive to give back — has been very much intentional.
