When describing the response of Boston University’s faculty, staff, and students to the COVID-19 emergency, Chris Dellarocas, associate provost for Digital Learning & Innovation, says several words come to mind: heroism, resilience, community, and growth.

“The past 18 months have been a singularly challenging experience for every member of the BU community,” says Dellarocas. “Throughout this critical time in our history, BU leadership, faculty, staff, and students exhibited incredible resolve in the adoption of new teaching and learning modalities.”
