Commencement is less than a week away and, in keeping with BU Today tradition, we invited faculty and staff from across the University to share some words of wisdom and encouragement with the graduating class. Their messages offer some guidance for how to navigate the world ahead.So before you don your cap and gown, take a few minutes to listen to what they have to say. And from all of us at BU Today: congratulations, Class of 2026! We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.
