Rarely does the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) look to a law school when funding the arts and education, but with a $150,000 grant to Northeastern Law’s NuLawLab, law is on center stage with the arts.

Judges and lawyers across the nation received a healthy dose of information this spring through trainings offered by Salus Populi, a project of the law school’s Center for Health Policy and Law and the Institute for Health Equity and Social Justice Research at Northeastern University.

Northeastern Law’s Immigrant Justice Clinic, through the generosity of donors, sent six students and a graduate leader to the southern border in April to assist Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, a nonprofit based in El Paso, Texas.

NuLawLab spearheaded the launch this spring of the Massachusetts Platform for Legislative Engagement (MAPLE) — a web-based tool that allows Massachusetts residents and organizations to easily submit testimony on pending state legislation on Beacon Hill.

As many of you know, I am an avid yoga practitioner. So, given what has gone on with the Supreme Court in recent months (and the last year), I’ve found myself increasingly intent on gathering energy through focused breathing. Our law school is also collectively taking deep breaths as we continue to find our center in the core values that drive our community.

There’s a lot to celebrate
