Five years ago, BU DC alums headed to Amidon Elementary school to make the school a bit better through painting, gardening and general beautification. Join us on August 20th as we return to Amidon as part of DC Public Schools Beautification Day on August 20th. This annual event has helped "spruce up" all D.C. public school buildings in preparation for the first day of school.

 

The Boston University Alumni Association and Boston University Overseer Derek Davis, Esq., on behalf of Greenberg Traugig, LLP, invite you to a reception celebrating the dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and Dr. King's legacy, which began during his student years at Boston University.

Calling all alumni!  Whoever you are...

...you're needed to help welcome new graduates to the Boston University Alumni Association.

Whether you're a mysterious stranger or a party animal, a wet blanket or a socialite, this party's all about you. The BUAA is hosting a worldwide toast in your honor. The new graduates picked up personality cards at Senior Breakfast, and the Champagne Reception, guaranteeing them one free drink at one of the many BU Global Toast sites. (You can print your personality card today or pick up one at the summer event-just check in with one of our staff when you arrive.)

Sign up and be notified when registration goes live.

Start the fun today. Share toast-libs and get your personalized party kit online at bu.edu/globaltoast. This is your first chance to get and stay connected to BU alumni around the world. Unless you picked the wet blanket personality card, you'll have the most fun if your friends come too - so spread the word and get set for a fun night.

In the meantime...

Join the Alumni Online Community and print your alumni card at bu.edu/alumni to receive cool benefits. Tweet along with @bualumni using the hashtag #BUTOAST. Post your comments and photos to facebook.com/bualumni.

A reminder about the BUAA...

Since you graduated with a degree from BU, you're automatically a member of the Boston University Alumni Association, along with nearly 300,000 of your fellow alumni. Don't worry, your BUAA membership is free. The BUAA exists to keep each and every one of YOU connected to each other & BU. After all, you're not just a Terrier for your college years, you're a Terrier for life.

 

Join your fellow BU alums for a season of summer kickball on the National Mall - right in front of the Capitol Building.  Our first game will be played on Tuesday, July 26th, and we will play every subsequent Tuesday night at 6:30 for approximately 10 weeks, until early October. Teams can be up to about 35 people, so invite your friends and register today! To learn more about the NAKID league, visit their website www.playnakid.com.
