Over more than thirty years of classroom teaching and learning, the Core Curriculum has come to count many thousands of students, alumni, faculty and friends in its extended community. The continued relationship between Core and its alumni is a distinctive feature of our program, one that manifests in live events, on social media, and through year after year of extraordinary support shown to Core on BU’s annual Giving Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We welcome donor support at any time of the year.<\/strong> To give directly to the Core Curriculum fund, visit this secure form on the Alumni Relations webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Core Alumni Association<\/h3>\n

EnCore is the official association of Core alumni. It was founded in 2008 by a committee of alumni working in concert with the BU Alumni office and a group of senior Core faculty. Since then, EnCore has established a Facebook group, hosted receptions, organized live events in Boston and other cities, gathered in person and online for book club meetings, and in other ways worked to develop and extend a feeling of community among Core alumni.<\/p>\n

  2. Enabling alumni connections with the present Core community;<\/li>\n
  3. Promoting alumni mentoring and professional networking; and<\/li>\n
