The Student Life Fund\/The Dean’s Student Emergency Fund\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Life doesn’t wait for convenient moments to fall apart. When a student’s apartment floods the night before finals; when a family crisis suddenly triggers a need to get home; when a house fire destroys everything they own; some students have nowhere to turn. The Student Life Fund\/The Dean’s Student Emergency Fund is there for students in these, their most frightening moments.<\/p>\n Resources from this fund can provide same-day help for the urgent needs. With the generous support from our extended BU family, and when possible, we can replace a destroyed laptop so they can finish the semester; cover emergency travel for a student to be with family; ensure our students have a safe place to sleep and food to eat while their world steadies.<\/p>\n Every crisis is different. Every student’s need is unique. But your gift gives the Dean the ability to say “yes” when a student desperately needs help. This is often the difference between a student continuing to pursue their academic goals or derailing a young person\u2019s hopes and dreams.<\/p>\n There is no other gift that can directly impact the success of a Terrier in need more than The Student Life Fund\/The Dean\u2019s Student Emergency Fund.<\/p>\n
