Summer is officially here, and campus life is buzzing. This week’s photos show students checking on bees in Richardson Plaza, working on projects in the EXP research complex and studying in the shade at Centennial Common on Northeastern’s Boston campus.

Graduates in Portland, Maine, marked commencement, while others reflected on the meaning of Juneteenth. From colorful blooms to quiet moments, it was a week full of energy, pride and purpose.
