2024 Outstanding Co-op Employer Awards    The Outstanding Co-op Employer Awards are a chance for the Northeastern University College of Engineering Co-op to recognize employers that have gone above and beyond to collaborate with our Co-op program and provided students with opportunities to be engaged, inspired, and transformed in 2024!    For these reasons, we would like to recognize Applied Materials for their dedication to Northeastern University’s Co-op program.     Paula Perry has been a warm and supportive mentor to Co-op students, and a strong advocate for the Northeastern Co-op Program within the organization for many years. Arianna Faria is doing a fantastic job recruiting and supervising Northeastern co-op students this year. Applied Materials has hired co-ops consistently for 19 consecutive cycles, and have hired many former Northeastern co-ops after graduation as well. I can always confidently tell students who are considering co-ops at Applied Materials that it is worth the drive, due to the excellent mentorship and company culture. Thank you, Applied Materials, for your partnership! #cooperativeeducation #engineering #coop

Since 2018, Granite has been an exceptional employer partner to the COE and Northeastern’s co-op program. Beyond simply hiring Northeastern students for co-ops and internships, Granite’s recruiters and hiring managers go above and beyond in supporting the MGEN co-op team each semester. Granite representatives actively participate in both in-person and virtual speaker sessions, attend career fairs, and contribute to employer testimonial and marketing initiatives. Additionally, Greg Collard, Director of College Recruiting, and Nicole Destefano, Campus Recruiter & Branding Specialist, maintain outstanding communication with the MGEN co-op team throughout the entire recruitment process and provide constructive feedback for students. Granite Telecommunication’s recruiters and hiring managers have also extended the duration of many Northeastern students’ co-ops and converted students to full-time employees upon graduation. - Jessica Fisher    Thank you, Granite Telecommunications, for your partnership!    #cooperativeeducation #engineering #coop

I am honored to nominate Kiran for her exceptional contributions to the startup ecosystem and her unwavering commitment to mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs. Kiran is on a mission to empower startup founders, guiding them from ideation to product through her AI-powered platform. Alongside her co-founder, Cody, she’s helping founders navigate each critical step of their entrepreneurial journey with the support and tools they need to succeed. I had the pleasure of having Kiran as a speaker last year, and I’ve seen firsthand how deeply she cares about the success of others. She has hired over 20 co-ops from Northeastern, providing invaluable hands-on learning experiences for students. All of her co-ops are unpaid, Kiran’s mentorship is a game-changer. She ensures that her students feel like integral members of the team, not only by setting up engaging hackathons but by creating a dynamic onboarding process that truly sets them up for success. Kiran’s dedication to mentorship has made a lasting impact on the students who have worked with her. Many return from their co-op experience energized and grateful for the growth and skills they've gained under her guidance. She creates a culture of collaboration and learning that empowers her team to excel, and her leadership fosters a strong sense of community and purpose.  Her passion for innovation and mentorship extends beyond her startup. Kiran is a familiar face at major events in the Boston ecosystem, having served on panels and as a judge for numerous initiatives. Notably, she led the Women in Science panel for the City of Boston and volunteered with Techstars Boston Startup Weekend in 2024, alongside many of her co-op students. She has also been actively involved in Suffolk’s Entrepreneurial events, further showcasing her dedication to fostering a thriving entrepreneurial community. Kiran’s commitment to empowering others, her role as a mentor, and her relentless dedication to her mission are truly remarkable. She is making a lasting impact on the startup ecosystem and the next generation of founders, and I am proud to nominate her for this well-deserved recognition. - Debbie Steiner Hayes Thank you FounderWay for your partnership!   #cooperativeeducation #engineering #coop

2024 Outstanding Co-op Employer Awards The Outstanding Co-op Employer Awards are a chance for the Northeastern University College of Engineering Co-op to recognize employers that have gone above and beyond to collaborate with our Co-op program and provided students with opportunities to be engaged, inspired, and transformed in 2024! For these reasons, we would like to recognize Senior Metal Bellows for their dedication to Northeastern University’s Co-op program. Since 2004, Senior Metal Bellows has been a consistent co-op employer hiring 136 students over 32 co-op terms. In recent years, the company has significantly expanded its hiring to include roles in supply chain, planning, and marketing, often hiring up to 6-7 students per co-op cycle. A review of student assessments reveals that the vast majority rate their experience as “outstanding,” highlighting the company’s strong culture of inclusivity, respect, and support. Additionally, co-ops are integrated into all aspects of the company culture, participating in meetings, social events, and even golf leagues. Lastly, students feel valued as engineers rather than just as co-ops, which significantly boosts their confidence and equips them with the skills and mindset necessary for future success. – Sarah Mockler Thank you, Senior Metal Bellows, for your partnership! #cooperativeeducation #engineering #coop
