Your First Social Impact Newsletter of the Semester!

Welcome!

The semester starts, the inbox fills, and the Questrom elevator situation remains ever so chaotic (new students, plan to arrive at the building at least five minutes early to avoid being a straggler). Building quirks aside, whether you're starting your graduate school journey or well on your way, we're so happy you're here!

Boston University’s social impact community is a vibrant place, filled with students equally passionate and empathetic. Our student body comes from all over the world to bring a little bit more heart to our professional lives — and we are united by the way we lead with care, compassion, and drive. This newsletter serves as a platform to connect you with the best events on and off campus, while helping you discover opportunities that spark your enthusiasm.

You can expect to receive the social impact newsletter every week during the semester. In it, we'll publish relevant events, community achievements, scholarship and funding opportunities, job listings, content, and more.

We have also compiled a New Student Guide, curated by current students and designed to help make your transition back to school as easy and seamless as possible.

Important Events

• Social Impact Back to School Party | Sat, Sep 6, 2025 | 3 PM – 6 PM EDT (GMT-4)

Last but not least, we'd love your thoughts!
