BU’s Alumni Association is kicking off its brand new learning program BU Alumni College this summer. Alumni College is a stand-alone program designed to empower alumni through immersive educational experiences.

The inaugural Alumni College is called Sustainability in the City, which involves learning experiences where expert faculty from the College of Arts & Sciences will address critical and practical sustainability questions by way of lectures, field trips, lab experiences and classroom discussions.  Other events include a trip to the New England Aquarium and a Sunset Harbor Cruise.

Registration for on-campus housing ends TODAY, May 27, and regular registration ends June 3.
