Join us at the Olin W. Library entrance on Wednesday, November 13th, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM for a special visit with two friendly huskies and their handlers from Norsled! As Northeastern’s beloved mascot, huskies hold a special place in our hearts, and this event is a unique chance to meet real-life representatives of our school spirit. Stressed about classes or just need a break? These fluffy campus VIPs are here to help you “paws” and relax—because nothing says “goodbye stress” like a husky hug! Come by, take photos, enjoy some furry companionship, and learn about Norsled’s mission in rescuing northern-breed dogs. Don’t miss this chance to unwind and celebrate our husky pride on campus!

After the Event:

The Center for Transformative Action (CTA) was proud to bring the joy of husky pups to Northeastern University’s Oakland campus, featuring Chanel, Levi, and Layla. This heartwarming event, made possible through our partnership with Norsled, was met with enthusiasm as students gathered to meet the dogs, take photos, and learn about their inspiring rescue stories. Despite the rain, the turnout was strong, with students dressed in Northeastern colors, enjoying an experience inspired by the beloved traditions of our Boston campus. The success of this event was highlighted in both the Oakland Campus Dean’s newsletter and a feature in Northeastern News, showcasing the impact of this special day on our campus community.

The event not only strengthened bonds within our campus but also underscored the importance of meaningful collaborations. We extend our gratitude to Norsled for their dedication to rescuing huskies and are proud to support their mission, which has saved over 2,000 dogs to date. As we look ahead to future husky visits and Husky Day celebrations, we’re thrilled to see our efforts recognized and are committed to continuing events that bring joy to our community while making a difference beyond our campus.
