You Are Why

At Boston University....

Groundbreaking research. Improving everyday lives. Investing in the next generation. It’s only possible in partnership with elected officials, industry leaders, corporations, foundations, alumni—and you.

You are why we pursue new ideas that serve society. You are why we’re able to transform lives. You are why we will never stop.

You are why we educate, research, and invest. So we can better serve society. So we can generate life-changing new knowledge. So we all can succeed.

By collaborating across disciplines, we’ve pioneered cutting-edge technology, biomedical marvels, and new ways of thinking in data science, the humanities, health, and more.

When we work together our impact is greater—on behalf of those living with Parkinson’s, skin cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases.

Boston University generates more than knowledge. We create jobs and drive revenue for the local economy, the nation, society at large, as well as the people we employ, educate, and empower.

As partners within our community, we can do even more.

The mission of higher education and university research is to support and uplift society. With continued government support and by deepening our collaboration with all our partners, we will go even further.

You are why we are patching human hearts, regrowing lung cells, analyzing brain matter, and investing in the next generation. You are why Boston University improves lives. Why stop now?
