Everyone who walks into The Howard Thurman Center is helping to build a welcoming, inclusive community. It’s a place where people with different worldviews, cultures, and philosophies can co-exist while honoring and investigating their own identities. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are three big ways you can become active participant in our community:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Come hang out with us! \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Howard Thurman Center is designed to bring students, faculty, and the larger Boston community together in a beautiful, fun space that’s like your BU living room. The center is open every day during the academic year and it’s open Monday through Friday in the summer. We have comfy couches, games, and incredible student workers who set the vibe with immaculate playlists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Meet new friends at our weekly programs!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our weekly programs give students the opportunity to reflect, relax, have a laugh, or engage in thoughtful chats with other incredible human beings.\u00a0 You can drop into a program any time, but \u201cregulars\u201d get the chance to build lasting connections with each other over time, which is what we\u2019re all about.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
