Dear Students,
The Jewish holiday, Passover, will begin before sundown on Wednesday, April 1st and end after nightfall on Thursday, April 9th. Those observing Passover are encouraged to reach out to faculty with individual requests/accommodations during this period. Please refer to the Boston University Policy on Religious Observance in determining how to request an accommodation.
Recognizing that it may be difficult to find food options that align with Passover practices on campus, Graduate Student Life will be providing a limited selection of snacks in the student lounge. Please note that availability may vary. As a reminder, BU’s food pantry is always available for students experiencing food insecurity. If you are facing food insecurity, please reach out to Mary Murphy-Phillips (mcmurph@bu.edu) for support.
Finally, below is a link for Passover information and resources at BU Hillel:

Best,
Yvette Cozier, DSc
Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice
