Student Philanthropy Council

The Student Philanthropy Council educates students about the impact of donor support at Northeastern. Through events, outreach, and direct conversations, SPC helps undergraduates understand how alumni contributions shape their Northeastern experience. We work with Alumni Relations and Annual Giving to connect with students across campus and serve as a bridge between the student body and the university’s philanthropic community. Our goal is to help students see philanthropy as part of their Northeastern journey, both now and as future alumni.

SPC Ambassadors

SPC Ambassadors expand the reach of philanthropy education across campus. Working alongside the Student Philanthropy Council, ambassadors connect with student organizations and campus communities to share the impact of giving and donor support at Northeastern. Through peer-to-peer conversations and collaborative programming, ambassadors help students understand how philanthropy shapes their experience and creates opportunities for future Huskies. Ambassadors bring diverse perspectives and campus connections to advance SPC’s mission of building a culture of gratitude and giving among undergraduates.
