Staff Meet & Greet with BU President Melissa Gilliam

More than 600 BU staff members met BU’s new president, Melissa L. Gilliam, July 11 at the GSU Ballroom, invited by the Staff Advisory Council. Gilliam talked about her parents, her research work, and her career in higher ed administration. She asked several questions, among them: “When did you make a radical change in your life?” and “Who are the people who helped you identify and develop the talents and skills that enable you to do what you do now?” She requested her audience to share their answers with the person next to them, then shared her own responses. The event concluded with a Q&A. Photo by Cydney Scott
