In 1994, the Latino/a Committee, a group of NU faculty, administrators, staff, and students proposed a unique plan: a Center that they could call home. Their vision was to create a Center in which people could come together and share their academic struggles and achievements, as well as their culture. This Center would also find a way to give back to their community. The vision of a Latino/a Center was a way to take a theory and to put it into practice. This theory centered around the idea of transforming the classroom experience into community related activities and services. The work of this group culminated in the creation of the Latino/a Student Cultural Center and its opening on October 2, 1997. The Ground Breaking Ceremony took place on April 29, 1997. These are some of the many people who have been and continue to be great contributors to the development of the Latino/a Student Cultural Center at Northeastern University.

Wentworth Institute of Technology is an independent, co-educational, technical design and engineering college located in Boston, Massachusetts. Wentworth was founded in 1904 and offers career-focused education through its 19 bachelor's degree programs in areas such as applied mathematics, architecture, computer science, industrial design, interior design, engineering, engineering technology, and management, as well as master's degrees in architecture, civil engineering, construction management, facility management, and technology management.HistoryIn 1903, Boston businessman Arioch Wentworth left the bulk of his estate, estimated at $7 million, for the purpose of founding an industrial school within the city. Accordingly, a board of seven directors incorporated Wentworth Institute on April 5, 1904, as a school "to furnish education in the mechanical arts". The directors spent several years investigating the educational needs of the community, increased the endowment ($3.5 million at the time), and reached a settlement with Wentworth's daughter, who had contested his will. The campus was established in Boston's Back Bay Fens, and Arthur L. Williston was hired as the first principal of the college.
