2025 Orientation Welcome to BU
An Orientation Welcome on August 25 kicked off the newly redesigned weeklong orientation for Boston University’s entering freshmen and transfer students, drawing 4,250 new Terriers to Agganis Arena. Among the several speakers: Jason Campbell Foster, dean of students, Amie Grills, associate provost for undergraduate affairs, Rob Lowe, BUPD chief, and Judy Platt, chief health officer. Perhaps the most popular appearance, though, was by Bean, BU’s community resource dog.
