After months of pauses on programming and disrupted mobility, among other challenges, related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Global Programs is thrilled to once again facilitate all things international at Boston University. From re-opening in-person Study Abroad programs, and helping international students and scholars return or get acclimated to BU, to supporting our faculty with their global research and teaching efforts, and returning to other international programming endeavors and practices, we fully embrace the renewed level of energy across the BU community.
As we swing open the doors on global engagement we look forward to the day when, once again, you’ll be able to find thousands of students and hundreds of faculty members researching, teaching, and learning across six continents annually. At home in Boston, thousands of international students and scholars have already been able to join us in-person for the 2021-2022 academic year, infusing our diverse campus community with global perspectives and different lived experiences that I encourage you to learn more about. An easy way to start is by diving into the stories in this issue of Global Matters.
Fostering a diverse and inclusive campus community is central to who we are as a part of BU. We hope you enjoy the global activities and stories highlighted within. Here’s to a wonderful and safe academic year.
Sincerely,
Willis G. Wang
Vice President and Associate Provost for Global Programs
