Partnering for Change

Forging industry and community partnerships for the betterment of all

In a world where technology is everywhere, computer science impacts almost everything we do. It’s found in the networks that connect us, the data that fuels discoveries, and the technology that transforms society. That’s why to make a significant impact in our world, Khoury College is committed to partnering with industries across the board as well as with community and nonprofit organizations in the locations we serve. 

These partnerships are varied and expansive: from co-ops, a hallmark of the Northeastern educational experience, to research that strives to make computing innovations equitable to all. Join us as a partner to advance your organization’s goals and make CS available and actionable for everyone.

Community partnerships
