The CFA Development & Alumni Relations team welcomes your questions about alumni benefits, events and performances, giving back, and much more. We are always eager to help connect our alumni community—some 17,000 strong—to one another as well as to the broader BU network. We invite you to take advantage of everything that BU and CFA have to offer!

Gather and Connect

CFA Terriers are always welcome back on Comm Ave! The buildings may look a little different, but the spirit remains in the studios, practice spaces, and stages of CFA. In-person and virtual events throughout the year bring alumni, friends, and families together.
