Dean’s Hosts
BU Wheelock College of Education & Human Development Dean’s Hosts are enthusiastic and knowledgeable undergraduate students who act as ambassadors for BU Wheelock. They dedicate their time and serve the BU Wheelock community by hosting prospective students and families and volunteering at community events with current BU students, parents, and alumni.
If you are a prospective student who would like to speak with a current Dean’s Host about BU Wheelock, a specific program within BU Wheelock, a club the Dean’s Host is involved in, or just about Boston University as a whole, send us an email.
