Northeastern students turned compassion into action with CatBot, an AI-powered chatbot helping place Boston's senior and special-needs cats in loving homes. CatBot answers questions, dispels misconceptions, and guides potential adopters, fostering stronger community engagement while freeing volunteers to focus on care.
At D'Amore-McKim, students are proving AI can be a bridge, not a barrier. Through the Prison Project at Suffolk County House of Correction, they guide incarcerated individuals in using generative AI to build resumes, practice interviews, and even draft business plans—skills that boost confidence and future job prospects.
Meet the 10 full-time faculty members joining D'Amore-McKim this fall; a group with cross-disciplinary expertise that will deepen the school's work to create the responsible global business leaders of tomorrow.
