Anna Been

I became a Terrier F1rsts advocate because I want to be an educated and supportive resource for BU’s first gen students. It’s important to me to continue learning and growing in ways that I can support BU’s diverse community of students, and so I really appreciate the Newbury Center and all the work they do to help support & educate!

I love sports of all kinds and played ultimate frisbee in college and now in a local league. I love pretty much all animals and have recently gotten really into birding– I’ve been checking up each week on the peregrine falcon nesting box on the top of StuVi2! I’m also a first generation American and have dual citizenship with the Netherlands. I wish my Dutch language skills were better, but I take classes and try to practice every day!
