On May 5 at the Alumni Center, 10 outstanding D'Amore-McKim undergraduate students received the DMSB Co-op Award for demonstrating exceptional leadership, resilience, and a strong commitment to their professional and personal growth during their co-op experiences. Each awardee served as a role model, providing professional development mentorship to other Northeastern students through Peer Mentor programs, teaching assistantships, and leadership in student organizations. They all held co-op positions across the United States and internationally, working with major financial institutions, major accounting firms, government embassies, and innovative start-ups.
Half of the recipients will be returning full-time to one of their co-op or internship employers post-graduation. In the words of one Co-op Award honoree, “both my co-ops have changed the trajectory of my life. After graduation, I plan to return as a full-time consultant at [my former co-op employer] and to build the foundation I established during my co-op. Without my co-op, I never would have been offered this job, so I am eternally grateful for the Northeastern University co-op experience.”

May NYC Event Connects
Co-op Alumni
|
| | |
On May 15, DMSB Cooperative Education faculty gathered with alumni in New York City for the second time at a lively networking event. Well represented this year were our Peer Mentor alumni. As upperclassmen who have completed one or more co-ops, Peer Mentors serve as teaching assistants in our Professional Development for Co-op course, as well as role models for our students, and are an integral part of what makes our co-op program unique.
Now representing many companies and industries, these dedicated young alumni continue to advocate for the Northeastern co-op program. Our team was delighted to reconnect with former students, where attendees enjoyed reminiscing with recent graduates, co-op faculty, and peers from their time in DMSB.

After 10 years in the D’Amore-McKim co-op program, I can confidently say that this past year, my first in the role of Assistant Dean, has been one of the most dynamic. The world of work is continuously being transformed, with remote and hybrid work, the recent explosion of AI, and an evolving workforce among many factors at play. D’Amore-McKim students today are talented, ambitious, adaptable, and entrepreneurial. They come to the co-op program looking for more than just a job - they seek to make an impact while carving out a career path in line with their unique talents and goals.
Our employer partners play a key role in these students’ journeys - not just for the jobs and training that you provide, but for the one-to-one feedback and mentorship so critical to students at this stage in their careers. As we look ahead to the next Academic Year and prepare to kick off recruiting for Spring ‘26 co-ops, sharing a resounding “THANK YOU” for your continued partnership in providing transformative experiences that shape the world's next generation of responsible business leaders.
