Making Your Voice Heard in DC
Since opening our offices in 2012, we’ve been hard at work raising the University’s profile in Washington. We regularly advocate on issues important to the BU community such as making sure that the government and legislators prioritize funding and support initiatives to increase student financial aid. We help find BU faculty and administrators a seat at the table when it comes to significant federal decisions affecting research universities and can arrange for face-to-face meetings with White House officials, Congressmen and women, and leaders of government research agencies. Visit Advocacy Resources and check out the work we’ve been doing on behalf of the University.
