Dear BU Families,

Welcome to Boston University! We are so excited to have you, and your student join our vibrant community.

As your student begins their transition to BU, you might be asking yourself a lot of questions about student life and your involvement. You’ll find answers to your questions by watching our Know Before You Go video series.

Another great way to stay informed is to join our Terrier Family Network. As a member, you’ll have access to our portal for important updates, a calendar, and news about the university. In addition, you will receive our newsletter to ensure that you have the most up-to-date, accurate information about your student’s BU journey.

We invite you to attend the Winter Welcome Breakfast and our New Family Fan Fest for families of first year and transfer students, beginning their BU experiences in January 2025. Please use the links listed above to register for these events in advance.

In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 617-358-1187 or by email at parents@bu.edu if you have any questions or concerns.

We look forward to welcoming you to our BU family.

Sincerely,

Christy Loring
Director, Parent & Family Programs
