Leslie Tellalian
Assistant Dean, Lifelong Learning
I am a first-generation undergrad and grad student. And, only one of my parents completed high school. I had little to no understanding of what to expect from college, how to get in, and even what some of the majors were (I.e., political science?). I have learned a lot along the way and have been fortunate to get help whenever I (had the courage to) ask. I hope to provide a solid sense of support, community, and information, with a healthy dose of humor – because I made plenty of mistakes, but had to laugh, learn and move forward.

- Personal Facts/ Hobbies/ Interests: I have four children, ages 22 through 14. Two of my children attend BU – senior and sophomore. And, my younger two are in their 1st and 3rd year in high school. I love being with my kids, doing anything outdoors and near water (especially the ocean); reading, drawing, and painting; and spending time with friends finding new adventures.
