OPEN-MINDED, HARD-WORKING and JUST PLAIN FUN, and just like you, they have a strong and genuine commitment to social justice. They'll be your friends from the day you meet throughout your college career and maybe even for the rest of your life. |

In it, you'll explore how various social justice issues have impact on the well-being of individuals, families, and communities. |

 (fourth from right at top) a painter in the Art and Art History Department, explores how masculinity is translated within culture. Again, depending on your major and personal interests, you may have the opportunity during your second semester to take his drawing class, a small, hands-on exploration of both art history and drawing technique. Experience isn't necessary; Professor Godeke is known for his enthusiasm and helpfulness. |

Says Debbie, "My main responsibility is to serve as the liaison between the administration, directors, faculty, and residence life staff to ensure that the LLC programs run smoothly and effectively. Since I work so closely with the directors and advisory boards of the LLCs, I see first-hand how dedicated and passionate they are to making the students' first-year experience the best it can be. It is inspiring to see their support and encouragement of our students. I am proud to work with such amazing faculty, staff, and mentors. BU is a great place to live, work, and learn."
