Fun Fact

You probably see it every day, but do you know how it got there? The four-sided clock outside the Tsai Performance Center on Commonwealth Avenue was given to Boston University in 1998 by Richard Neu (CAS’61). That wasn’t Neu’s only gift to BU. He also  endowed the Neu Family Award for Excellence in Teaching, which is awarded annually.
