Welcome to the newly reimagined Global Programs quarterly newsletter: Global Matters. In each issue, you will discover some of the myriad ways in which Boston University fulfills its identity as a leading global research university. Global Programs helps lead, coordinate, and support the University’s many global endeavors, and this newsletter will give you a window into education, research, and service-learning activities and initiatives that define the global BU experience. You may find study abroad profiles, international research highlights, student and faculty testimonials, data about Terriers abroad, and upcoming events and deadlines – a sample of the many initiatives led or supported by Global Programs and many others on the Charles River, Medical, and Fenway campuses that define BU’s dynamic global impact. We hope you enjoy the new format. If you have any questions, suggestions, or stories to share, please be sure to let us know at global@bu.edu.

Sincerely,

Willis G. Wang
Vice President and Associate Provost for Global Programs
