With 34,000 students, Boston University is large. COM can feel the same way, as the University’s third-largest undergraduate college . Yet within this vast community, we can all find smaller communities and opportunities that suit us best – creating the best of both worlds.
We are connecting members of the broader COM community. We piloted a one-to-one student-mentoring program with 84 alumni and grew alumni and student participation on the BU Connects social platform by 60%. We regularly host on-campus and online career preparedness workshops for students.
We are bringing faculty and staff closer, with the launch of our first intranet to share in-house news, events, and resources. COM is holding organization-wide strategy retreats more conversational “town halls” among staff and faculty. We recognize achievement through the dean’s Dean’s Award for Alumni Innovation and Engagement, selected by the dean’s Advisory Board.
