Laura Damon
Residence Hall Director
I became a Terrier F1rsts Advocate because I want to welcome, support, and celebrate our first gen students at BU. As an advocate, I can better understand the challenges of navigating college as a first in your family, and am equipped to support you in reaching your goals (inside and outside the classroom) during your time here. There are so many great resources available on-campus and I want each student to take advantage of those supports and opportunities.
