BOSTON – The Howlin' Huskies Fund (HHF) is excited to invite Northeastern athletics supporters to a series of free virtual events this fall. There will be a total of four events, all held via Zoom video conferencing beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
Included will be three panel discussions that will explore how our student-athletes and university are dealing with the challenges of this new era. Each panel will include select members of the Northeastern athletics senior leadership team, head coaches and student-athletes as well as guest emcees. More details will be released closer to each event.
Additionally, the HHF will host the second edition of the Howlin' Huskies Hour, a fun and friendly general knowledge trivia contest, on Nov. 19. The
