PF&G Engagement | Newbury Center

College life can feel like unfamiliar territory for first-generation students—and also for their parents, families, and guardians (PF&G). The Newbury Center is here to support the PF&G community and invites you to engage with us in the following ways:

Sign up for in-person and online programs designed specifically for the PF&G community—including F1RST Families Breakfast and a virtual workshop we offer each fall to help families better understand their student’s transition from high school to college.
Attend our in-person events on campus during Family & Friends Weekend, which BU holds each October.
Subscribe to the Terrier Family Network and select Families of First-Generation Students to stay up to date on reminders, resources, and special events that will support you and your student. You can also check out the PF&G newsletter archives to view previous news and highlights from the Newbury Center.
Contact the associate director, M.C. Damm or the assistant director, Rosemary Ferreira. If you have questions or concerns about your student’s BU experience, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are happy to make personal appointments.
