May Hartness
Senior Program Coordinator for the Office of Registration and Financial Aid
May Hartness (she/her/hers) joined the Office of Registration and Financial Aid in August of 2024. As a graduate of the Boston University School of Theology (MTS, ‘24), May was excited to become part of an empathetic and supportive Student Services Team that prioritizes students’ wellbeing alongside their academic success.
May’s own academic interests vary widely, and as a theological scholar she often finds herself standing at the intersection of spirituality, film, and the literary imagination. Her experiences as a student ranged across disciplines, as she found conversation partners in the BU College of Fine Arts, English Department, and through the Boston Theological Interreligious Consortium (BTI). In her current role, May is grateful to have the opportunity to support students as they engage with the BTI, as well as provide a listening ear for those interested in scholarship eddying outside mainstream constructs of religion.
You will likely find May seated comfortably with her popcorn at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, or scribbling in her Notes app on the Green Line. Say hi! If she looks alarmed, it’s not you, she startles easily. Like a cat.
