Solar Eclipse<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Talbot Green was a prime viewing spot for the solar eclipse, luring hundreds outside to view the celestial spectacle. Students, faculty, and staff clustered on the lawn to watch the progression of the moon across the sun, the last time the US will experience a total solar eclipse until a brief 3-minute passage over Alaska in 2033. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving Day 2024<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Giving Day offered a chance for the SPH community to support the School during the BU-wide fundraising challenge. Nearly 12,000 donors raised just under $4M to accelerate the mission of BUSPH and help shape the future of public health. While Giving Day has passed, there are still opportunities to help support SPH’s strategic priorities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrival of spring<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Just a few days after winter’s last blast of wind-driven sleet and rain, the campus came alive with the sights and sounds of spring. New plantings brightened walkways, students gathered to study and relax on Talbot Green, and robins patrolled the grass looking for a meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
