The Howard Thurman Center provides an interactive space and innovative programs where students from diverse social networks can connect. Located on the lower level of BU’s student union, our work is based on the common ground philosophy of Dr. Thurman.

Time for a “Good Talk”
“Good talk!”
It’s what you say and feel after a conversation that truly enlightens, stimulates, and inspires you.
The Howard Thurman Center is giving you a chance to have a “good talk” unlike any other. We’re connecting BU students with an amazing opportunity: intimate chats with big names in diverse fields.
MTV’s Georgia Arnold and the Enough Project’s John Prendergast have already signed on for Good Talks. We’ll be adding more names to that list in the weeks to come.
Who would you like to chat with? Let us know! Have a connection to a big name? Hook us up!
Good Talk will launch in Fall 2011. Click here or follow us for updates.
Check out our mural
This 9 ft. x 5 ft. piece was designed specifically for the HTC’s Makechnie Conference Room by Sarah Mosser (COM ’10, CFA ’12). According to Sarah, “I wanted to reflect the energy and fresh thinking by students that comes out of this conference room, by bringing the Boston skyline to life with unexpected creative objects (ie. guitar, microphone, pencil, ect).” Great work, Sarah!
