In addressing this fall’s cohort of students inducted to the prestigious Huntington 100, Northeastern President Joseph E. Aoun emphasized the enormous responsibility they now carry.
The university has upwards of 350,000 graduates around the world, Aoun explained, and roughly 2,000 have been named to the Huntington 100 –– an honor bestowed to Northeastern’s most accomplished students.
“You are part of a very, very select group,” Aoun said during Wednesday’s induction ceremony in East Village on the Boston campus. “Congratulations, you should be proud of that. I am proud of you, but it’s not enough.”
As members of this exclusive community, these students — who range from athletes and club leaders to researchers and musicians — represent the university’s future as “role models for the next generations,” Aoun explained.
“It means one day some of you may become trustees,” he said. “Some of you are going for a Ph.D. You want to be faculty, maybe faculty here.
“But don’t take my job,” Aoun said in jest.
