Steven (CAS’84) and Diane Rudis endowed an education for this future doctor
As a child in Jamaica, Tiffany Peters thought she’d spend her life on the island. She’d go to the local university, like her friends, then maybe teach. Or she’d work in sales, like her mom, or for the government, like her dad.
Then, when Peters (CAS’20) was 16, she was forced to consider a different future. She and her mother immigrated to the United States seeking new opportunities and settled in Queens, N.Y. A few years later, when it came time to apply for college, Peters, who aspired to pursue scientific research, quickly found BU rising to the top.
“When I looked at how the University spends its money, so much goes to research,” she says. “Then I looked at how much is going on here, and how easy it is to get involved. I really had my heart set on BU. I would have been heartbroken if I couldn’t come.”
