Created by former Northeastern assistant coach Pete Hughes, the 19 Ways community service program challenges varsity teams to make an impact on their local communities in 19 different ways. Hughes named the program in honor of his late mother, Alice, whose favorite number was 19.
Northeastern baseball head coach Mike Glavine, who played under Hughes’ mentorship at NU between 1992 and 1995, brought the 19 Ways program to the Huskies at the start of the 2015-16 scholastic year.
“I am excited to have our program be a part of the 19 Ways community service program,” said Glavine upon starting the program at Northeastern. “Coach Hughes has been such a positive influence on my life since he coached me here at Northeastern. I wanted a way to thank him and what better way than to have our players be a part of 19 Ways and to honor Pete’s mother.”
Hughes, who is the current head coach of Kansas State, formerly of Georgia, Boston College, Virginia Tech, and Oklahoma, was proud to see the Huskies adopt his program.
“Northeastern University has a special place in my heart,” said Hughes. “It is where I started in this profession. The people [my wife and I] met there and what the university represents are the reasons why we chose to raise a family around a college atmosphere.
“I am honored that the spirit of 19 Ways, along with my mother’s memory and who she was, will be a part of Northeastern baseball and the surrounding community. Specifically, I am grateful and humbled for 19 Ways’ association with one of the finest coaches and role models in college baseball, Mike Glavine.”
“Community service is one of our core values here at Northeastern, said Glavine. “We look forward to having a positive impact on our community by being a part of this great program.”
To encourage the Northeastern baseball team to participate in a community service project, please contact the Huskies’ baseball office by phone at
(617) 373-3657 or by email at
nubaseball@northeastern.edu. All suggestions will be considered first by the Northeastern coaches and players.
