Student Groups

Connect with other students who are passionate about creating a more equitable and inclusive BUSSW. Contact Lily Grob (lilywg@bu.edu), Marcus Shaw (mjshaw@bu.edu), and Ava Thornton (athorn01@bu.edu) for more information.

Interested in creating a student-led organization? BUSSW encourages it’s students to organize with one-another around shared goals, ideas, and identities. If you are interested in creating a group with your peers, please email the CRC director of student services, Junior Pena (junipena@bu.edu), and the CRC student services department email (sswoss@bu.edu). We would be happy to find ways to promote your group’s platform to other students.

Peer Support Spotlight  

Looking for additional connection, community, and encouragement? Join one (or more!) of the Peer Support Drop-in Sessions this spring in the Student Lounge and meet your Peer Mentors featured below!  Our BUSSW peer mentors are ready to offer guidance, support and connection to fellow OLP students. While peer mentors won’t provide tutoring, counseling, or academic advising, they are here to be a valuable resource for you through sharing their wisdom and experience, directing you to resources, and offering words of encouragement.  Some sessions will have a specific topic with facilitated discussion, others are more open-ended “general peer support” sessions.

Drop-in sessions are the perfect place to connect with peers and mentors and gain support and validation for the challenges of graduate education. The Spring 2026 Peer Support drop-in dates are:

• Sunday, January 11th at 5pm
• Sunday, February 8th at 5pm
• Sunday, March 8th at 5pm
• Sunday, April 12th at 5pm
• Sunday, May 10th at 5pm
