Attendees
Join us for RISE on April 8-10, 2026 on Northeastern’s Boston Campus – and in our virtual gallery!
RISE is the showcase for research and creative projects being undertaken by everyone at Northeastern: learners from every year of study, every major, every campus! Hundreds of Northeastern’s talented and ambitious undergraduate and graduate students will share work on a wide-array of topics, ranging from maternal mortality in the United States to detecting life on Mars to axolotl limb regeneration and more…
When you register, you will have access to the live event—and to the virtual gallery of all the posters!
In order to register (the site uses the language “Buy a Ticket” but it is just a free registration), you will need to create an account on the RISE Event Portal. Once registered, sign-in to the portal, head to the RISE program, and create your name badge. This will enable you to chat directly with others, leave comments on posters before, during, and after the live event, and view the virtual poster gallery.
Those attending in-person RISE please note that no large bags are permitted in Cabot Cage! You will not be able to enter the event if you are carrying a backpack, tote, large purse, or other bag.
Before you attend, here’s some advice to consider.
Let curiosity, not fear, be your guide. It’s okay to be a bit nervous — we often hear from folks that they don’t know what to say or might feel a bit out of their depth. Don’t worry! All of our presenters are excited to share their research or creative projects with you — and have been practicing telling their tales for a sophisticated, but general audience, like you.
Some questions to start a conversation. Eager to learn more but not sure how to start a conversation? Here are some great questions sure to engage our student presenters:
- What did you learn during your project that came as a surprise or challenged your preconceived ideas?
- How has this project supplemented or changed your views on what you’ve learned in courses, co-op, and co-curriculars?
- What prompted you to get started? What’s exciting or fascinating about the work you’re doing in this project, in particular?
- What’s have you learned?
- What’s next for the project — and what’s next for you, having done it?
- If you could tell someone only one thing about the project, what would it be?
For safety reasons, the following items are not permitted inside Cabot Cage:
- Any outside food or beverages
- Large bags or backpacks over the size of 12″x12″x12″
- Strollers
- Laser pointers
- Firearms or other weapons

Pet Policy
Pets are prohibited in all University buildings out of consideration for the general community and to maintain a clean and healthy environment. Exceptions are made for service dogs and other service animals.
The following is the definition of Service Animal as used by the Disability Resource Center, which is the office on the Northeastern campus delegated with the authority to review and approve animals.
A “Service Animal” is a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. A miniature horse may also be permitted as a Service Animal. Other animals do not qualify as Service Animals. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, performing some simple tasks such as turning on a light switch, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service Animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a Service Animal has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as Service Animals. (Sections II, III, IV, and V of this document apply to Service Animals).
