Amber Woods

Amber joined the Office of the Senior Diversity Officer in December 2020. She oversees the OSDO’s administrative operations, budget, events, committee logistics, and SDO special projects and initiatives.

Amber started her journey at Boston University in 2018 as the Development & Alumni Relations Coordinator for Wheelock College of Education & Human Development. While in that position, she served as co-chair of the Development & Alumni Relations Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee and the vice chair for BU Wheelock’s Staff Assembly.
