A Singular, Successful Journey

When Ethan Wang left for a BU Study Abroad semester in Sydney in 2019, it was with anticipation and excitement. A few weeks later, a surfing accident made it look like he would never walk again. But with grit, determination, his family’s support and encouragement, and the best medical care, in Singapore and Boston, on October 2, 2021, Wang (CAS’20) (front right) walked across the stage at the 2020 College of Arts & Sciences recognition event, and was handed his diploma by his father, Willis Wang, a BU VP and associate provost for global programs. The event was held in Agganis Arena, part of BU’s historic delayed 2020 Commencement. Photo by Cydney Scott
