Beans for Bean Food Drive
The BU community responded with enthusiasm to the call from their community resource dog Bean (flanked by her pal Sasha, Harvard's rescue dog) to help the BU Police Department support the University’s food bank by contributing to the Beans for Bean food drive at the GSU April 2. Donors scored a limited edition Bean card and were entered to win a private play date with Bean. Bean’s assistants: Maura Lee (COM’24), communications specialist, Campus Planning & Operations (CP&O) (from left); Keira Grice (COM’28); Kris Covarrubias, director, strategy, marketing, and communications, BU Wellbeing; Morgan Walsh, CP&O communications assistant; Anna-Mariya Kirova (SSW’23, SPH’23), Student Wellbeing assistant director; and Lauren Alzate, CP&O director of communications & engagement.
