The New Possibilities Way
The semester is here, and 71 North is already alive with the buzz of fresh ideas and boundless potential. This opening week marks more than just a return to campus—it's the launch pad for groundbreaking projects, unexpected collaborations, and the kind of bold thinking that transforms concepts into reality. Turn those ideas from inception to impact at 71 North!
“If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old.”
