Hey Torchies.

Torch alum Malachi H is currently missing in the Boston area. Read below for more and if you see him, let him know he is lived and missed and help him be found.

Praying that he’s alive and well.

Thank you.

ATTENTION Torch alums and current Torch Scholars!

I've been asked to create a report about the Torch program by the end of the week.

You can help by sending me your resume as soon as possible, and encouraging other Torchies to do this too! You can send it in a LinkedIn message or email me (j.schoen) at Northeastern.

Keep an eye on your email for an upcoming Torch update, too!

Thank you for your help!
