Dear BU Family,
As we begin the Fall 2020 semester, I would like to take a moment first to welcome our newest Huskies – our first-year and transfer students, and our new faculty members. We are excited that each of you has joined the Husky Family, and I look forward to meeting you in the coming months ahead. I also welcome back our returning students and faculty members. For all of us, this semester will be an unusual one, and I am especially grateful to my colleagues who have spent countless hours over the past several months to prepare for this atypical semester.
My thanks, as well, to each of you for your patience and understanding during these challenging times. As we have done so since last March, we will continuously monitor the latest information on the COVID-19 virus (including any developing student incidence rates), and respond accordingly to the changing circumstances.
The health and safety of the entire BU community remains our highest priority, and every single one of us must abide by the necessary safety precautions. This pandemic has given us the opportunity to demonstrate the sense of family that makes BU a special place – and that sense of family means taking responsibility for yourself and showing consideration and respect for others.
- please wear a face mask on and off campus
- socially distance yourself from others
- and wash your hands frequently
Lastly, I urge all of you to check in on a daily basis via our Husky Health Checker , and please continue to monitor our website for the latest updates. We are all in this together as one BU Family, and we will only contain and reduce the spread of this virus if each of us takes personal responsibility for our actions.
MASK UP, HUSKIES!
Sincerely,
Bashar W. Hanna,
President
