BU and higher ed in general is a very complex system to navigate; I received my undergrad degree at BU and work full time at BU, yet there&#8217;s always something to learn about how things work here. Through my experiences and knowledge of BU, I want to support first gen students in navigating this system, whether that&#8217;s connecting students with resources, or just acting as a sounding board. My hope is that I can share the information I&#8217;ve learned to help students build a strong, supportive community at BU that not only will make the transition to college smoother, but also stick with them past their years at university.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gender Identity and Pronouns: <span>she\/her<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Race, Ethnicity, and\/or Nationality: White<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Hometown: <span>Albany, NY<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Language Spoken: <span>English<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Business\/Industry of Interest: Health, Science, Social Science<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Personal Facts\/ Hobbies\/ Interests: I come from a semi-rural town outside of Albany, NY, so I&#8217;m always itching to get out of the city to reconnect with nature. However, a lot of my time goes towards working on my Master of Public Health (MPH), so much of my evenings and weekends is spent on that. When I&#8217;m not working on my MPH, I enjoy reading (send me your recs! I&#8217;ll read just about anything), watercolor painting, and building Lego.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/abigail-wood-87a73a20b\/\">LinkedIn Profile<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":24985,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6125"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24985"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6125\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6127,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6125\/revisions\/6127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/newbury-center\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
