YearLong Programming

Monthly PODER Meetings

Our monthly meetings help students stay connected and supported throughout the year. Led by our upperclassmen Program Managers (PMs), these sessions focus on community-building, academic guidance, and professional development. Most are open to all, with a few reserved just for Podies.

Community

We kick off the fall semester with monthly meetings designed to build lasting bonds. From game nights to cultural celebrations, our gatherings create a space where you can meet fellow first-gen Latinx students and feel a sense of familia on campus.

Support

College can be a lot to navigate, especially early on. Our sessions offer guidance on class registration, co-op planning, and understanding Northeastern’s academic system so you’ll always have the support you need.

Growth

Our professional development workshops help you build skills for success from resume reviews and networking tips to panels with Latinx professionals in tech, healthcare, business, and more. These sessions are open to the broader NU community and offer valuable tools for every stage of your journey.

 

Mentorship

PODER pairs you with a peer mentor who’s been in your shoes. Through regular check-ins, they’ll help you adjust to campus life, connect with resources, and feel confident beginning your college journey.
