Dear Fellow Parents,<\/p>\n

As we were preparing this issue of Parent<\/i> to launch, the tragic and unprecedented events that transpired at the Boston Marathon and their aftermath were unfolding. The Boston University community is mourning the loss of one of our students<\/a>, Lu Lingzi (GRS\u201914).<\/p>\n

In the face of such calamity, the City of Boston responded with remarkable strength. The Boston University community did too<\/a>, and I felt great pride in watching students, faculty, and staff pull together and support each other with courage, caring, and patience during a very difficult time. As the community continues to heal, I would like to remind you of the counseling services<\/a> available to students throughout the semester, as well as during the summer months.<\/p>\n

At this time, we look at the many ways students and faculty form communities of learning and support throughout the year, from a student-run radio station<\/a> to a new center that promotes safety on campus<\/a>. Through experiences like the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP)<\/a>, students participate in significant research studies alongside professors. Research programs like UROP recently earned BU an invitation to join the Association of American Universities<\/a>, a prestigious group of 62 major U.S. and Canadian research institutions.<\/p>\n

The end of this spring semester will still be time for meaningful celebration. The BU community will honor the Class of 2013 at Commencement on Sunday, May 19<\/a>. If your Terrier is among the graduates, don\u2019t miss our story about students helping one another prepare for life after BU<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As you read, please feel free to share your thoughts and opinions with us, ask questions, and post comments. The Parents Program wishes you a happy and safe summer.<\/p>\n

Best wishes,
\nJeanne
\nJeanne Knox, Chairman, Parents Leadership Council
\nMother of Merrill (COM\u201906) and Bobby (CGS\u201908, SAR\u201910, SPH\u201912)<\/p>\n
