ALL: Sign Up for Friday Connections! Friday Connections is a new Student Affairs pilot program that invites BU Law students to explore Boston’s cultural, educational, and social offerings while connecting with the law school community. Three to four times each semester, 12 randomly selected JD students—joined by faculty or staff—will take part in outings that highlight the city’s history, culture, and neighborhoods. The program aims to foster connections, engage with the greater Boston community, and promote wellbeing, with all costs covered by Student Affairs. On September 5th we’re taking a group of students to ICA Boston’s First Fridays: Endless Summer Event. Register below for a chance to go!
