Reflections from CFA Class of 2023

Reflections from CFA Class of 2023

Before they walk across the stage at Convocation, the College of Fine Arts Class of 2023 answers what they’ll miss about BU, what CFA means to them, and what they want people to remember about their class.

For the BU College of Fine Arts Class of 2023, a chapter is closing, but a new one is about to begin. As the graduating students prepare to launch their artistic careers, they reflect on their time at CFA and what it means to be a #CFA2023 grad.

When asked about what they’ll miss most, collaboration and community were the most popular responses. And what do they want people to remember about their class? That they are resilient.

Join us in congratulating the CFA Class of 2023!

Special thanks to the students who participated in CFA’s 2023 Reflections video!

We spoke with a total of 22 students from across multiple disciplines at CFA: Graphic Design, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Art Education, Voice Performance, Trombone Performance, Music Composition & Theory, Percussion Performance, Music Education, Music, Theatre Arts – Performance, Stage Management, Scene Design, Spanish.
