Undercover Husky!

#tbt to the Young Global Leaders conference in London over the summer. As a member of YGL, I have the privilege of working with President Aoun and the Board of Trustees to further the global mission of @northeastern .

Our next conference is in Mumbai, where we will be discussing social impact and corporate social responsibility, investing in India, as well as innovation, A.I., and distributive technologies.

Holiday season is upon us, which means that hackers are the the hunt! Here’s my tips for you all to stay safe during these vulnerable times:

1) Install software/OS updates immediately when they become available. ‼️
.
.
.
2) Uninstall any software/apps you don’t use. 📱
.
.
.
3) Watch out for sneaky phishing emails. Be on the lookout for awkward wording and misspellings, sudden urgency or time sensitive issues, and any requests requiring a wire transfer. You should also verify the sender’s reply-to-domain. 💻
.
.
.
4) Never trust anyone who calls you unsolicited. 📞
.
.
.
5) Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). 🌍
.
.
.
6) NEVER connect to public Wi-Fi. 🤦🏽‍♀️
.
.
.
7) Avoid websites that use the http protocol. Only visit sites that use the https protocol. 🔒
.
.
.
8 A.) Don’t use the same password for multiple accounts. 👎🏼
.
.
.
8. B) Choose strong passwords that have a combination of lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. If your password was 6 characters long, that would mean there is 690 billion possible combinations. If you only used lowercase letters and numbers, that would mean there’s only 2 billion possible combinations. 690 billion requires more time and processing power to crack than 2 billion. 🔋
.
.
.
8. C) Don’t write your password in a file or on a sticky note. Use a password manager. Password managers can also be used to generate strong and unique passwords for each of your accounts. 🤗
.
.
.
9) Power down your devices from time to time. 😴
.
.
.
10) Encrypt your data (for Mac, enable FireVault in your settings). 🔐
.
.
.
And finally, if you’re a hacker, CUT IT OUT!!! 🙅🏽‍♀️ #northeasternuniversity #cybersecurity #cybersecurityawareness

@khourycollege @damoremckim @northeastern

Today is the first day of @homecomingnortheastern and it’s being kicked off with Huskies Fighting Hunger - an event that I co-founded here at Northeastern with my roommate and our student orgs! This event brings students together to pack meals for local or international kids. I’m so proud to see this event continuing today and Huskies continuing to do so much good! Happy Homecoming!

Word around NU is that today is @northeasternrsa’s annual Husky Hunt event, which makes me nostalgic of the year that the team I captained won! (Can’t help the humblebrag - I’m still proud). After finding my love for scavenger hunts via Husky Hunt, I landed a 2+ yr part time gig with @xperienceadventures planning nationwide scavenger events. My love for scavenger hunts carries on today as I participate in as many as I can, as often as I can!

The final type of experiential learning I did while at NU was a Dialogue of Civilizations in London. While there, I completed my senior capstone project on the importance of art in education and also worked part time at a British nonprofit called Mind Yourself which helped Irish people in Britain connect with healthcare and wellness options - which was my first intro into the healthcare nonprofit industry I now work in!

#TBT to husky spirit day with fellow NU co-ops at Sanofi Genzyme in 2016 as well as two art exhibitions of Boston children’s art I hung at the MFA while co-oping there. My first co-op at @mfaboston was in the education department coordinating their community arts initiatives with local organizations - my experience working at that amazing institution with so many other nonprofits doing good work in Boston led me to change my major to Human Services. Then after learning my love of Philanthropy in human services classes, I co-oped at Sanofi Genzyme in Community Relations managing their volunteer programs and helping a review committee make impactful charitable donations to local non-profits. Both opportunities helped me see my future and led me to my current work in non-profit Philanthropy!

When I was in my freshman fall semester at NU, I first heard of the @moha_neu program and it immediately became my biggest Northeastern dream to be elected. In the fall of 2016, I had the honor of doing just that. Being elected Mayor of Huntington Avenue meant being a beacon of Northeastern spirit while also being a student representative and liaison with Alumni. I loved every moment meeting students and alumni at events as MoHA, but my favorite experiences tie between saying ‘Play Ball’ at Fenway on Northeastern Night and giving a Golden Grads Trolley Campus Tour to grads from 50 years prior. Fun fact: tonight is the debate for the 2019 MoHA, and I’ll be one of the judges! Can’t wait to meet this year’s candidates!

While at NU I took advantage of 3 of the pillars of experiential learning - all of which led me to where I am now. I had the pleasure of doing Service-Learning three times: once phone banking against water privatization with Corporate Accountability International, once teaching educational and service seminars with BostonCares ServiceWorks at CollegeBound Dorchester, and once helping to award a $10,000 grant to a Boston nonprofit through Northeastern Students 4 Giving. While I enjoyed the experiences I had at each, NS4G was the most impactful as it taught me how Philanthropy can affect greater social problems, and sparked my passion that led me into the nonprofit fundraising industry as a career.

After graduating in 2017, I was honored to be hired at @joslindiabetes - a global leader in Diabetes research, care, and education - where I still am today. I work on the Development Operations team helping to secure funding for the ground-breaking research and heartfelt patient care happening at Joslin daily. I’ve found this position a perfect way to fulfill my passion for philanthropy and desire to see Diabetes cured - all while getting to stay in Boston! (Bonus plug - our #TeamJoslin runners are taking on the #NYCMarathon this weekend. Cheering on the teams is a highlight of my job!)

Happy Monday Huskies! My name is Emily Blackwell. I’m excited to take over the @northeastern_alumni insta this week to share my Northeastern and post-grad experiences with you! I graduated from NU in 2017 with a BA in Human Services and now am a Development Operations Coordinator at Joslin Diabetes Center in the Longwood Medical Area of Boston. While at NU I had some great co-ops, international experiences, classes, and student org experiences that helped lead me to my current career path which I love. Can’t wait to share more with you throughout the week – send me your questions! 🐾❤️
