With the Terriers
in Spirit
Donna Weiss says she was ecstatic when she learned of plans

to the Student Village project. |

A Place
to Get Together
The need for a vibrant central gathering ground for students

to the Student Village project. |

Game Winner
Chris Drury (CAS'98) recently gave $100,000 to the Student Village

he is the most honored player in the eighty-year history of
BU hockey. |
