Alumni & Friends

Spring is a season of new beginnings—especially at BU

As the flowers bloom along Comm Ave and caps take flight at Nickerson Field, we’re proud to celebrate the Class of 2025. Commencement isn’t just the end of one chapter—it’s the start of another. This May, we’ll welcome thousands of new graduates into the global BU alumni community.

Want to help make this moment even more special? Through Tassels for Terriers, you can help cover the cost of caps and gowns for graduating students facing financial hardship—ensuring that every Terrier has the opportunity to cross the stage and celebrate their achievements with pride.

And for the graduates themselves, it’s time to take a long-awaited step—literally. Step on the Seal returns to Marsh Plaza, May 16–18, and we’re inviting all our seniors to participate in one of BU’s most beloved traditions. After years of avoiding it (or not!), now’s your moment to confidently step on the seal—and mark your transition from student to alum.
