BLUEPRINT is a program for first-year and transfer undergraduate students who are interested in developing a strong leadership foundation. In BLUEPRINT, you’ll make new connections on campus, enhance your leadership skills, and develop an action plan for how you want to leave your legacy at Northeastern.

BLUEPRINT II is an advanced leadership program for undergraduate students who have previously completed BLUEPRINT. This retreat-style program gives students the opportunity to put their social change leadership skills to the test in small groups as they work to develop a new program, activity, or initiative on campus.
