Student Wellbeing
Student Wellbeing is a campus-wide initiative to support students’ health and wellbeing during their time at BU. Everyone deserves to feel good, and how students feel matters. Student Wellbeing's goal is to inspire our students to feel fulfilled each day, despite the ups and downs of life on campus.
LGBTQIA+ Student Resource Center
The LGBTQIA+ Student Resource Center is an inclusive and safe environment for all members of the community.

Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground
The Thurman Center is Boston University’s cultural hub, and, unlike many colleges and universities that have separate Centers based on race, Boston University’s Howard Thurman Center does not. The Thurman Center is intentionally inclusive and emphasizes the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone to build relationships and share experiences with others. The Thurman Center is a place where cultural expression in all of its forms is embraced and encouraged.
