Community Engagement
Professional Preparation Office
The Professional Preparation Office collaborates with faculty to elevate the research-practice relationship and is committed to maintaining highly effective professional programs and experiences that are engaged in continuous improvement. The office provides coordinated services for field education, conducts assessments and evaluations of programs, sites, and supervisors, and supports students and alumni seeking professional licensure or certification.
College Access Student Success (CASS)
The College Access & Student Success (CASS) Office at BU Wheelock manages programs that support students at nearly every grade level, from kindergarten to postdoctoral. Many of these programs work by giving students access to learning and mentoring opportunities that help them expand on their classroom experience. Others work by creating direct service opportunities and specialized scholarship opportunities for BU students.
CASS’s programs contribute to our college’s understanding of the positive impact such programs can have on students. The data these projects generate–including academic and career outcomes, graduation rates, and direct feedback from participating students–is used to support educational research and the continued refinement of our own management of such programs.
Centers, Labs & Institutes
BU Wheelock is affiliated with several centers, laboratories, and institutes that support our faculty’s scholarly missions and provide valuable research opportunities and educational resources to students.
