What better way to meet fellow Terriers than over food and fun? Hosted by BU Orientation and Student Activities Office, the August 24 Welcome BBQ for incoming first years and transfers on Nickerson Field offered burgers, chips, and desserts, as well as lawn games and dancing. Among other options on a perfect warm and sunny summer day were cornhole, Connect 4—even an inflatable castle. And greeting and chatting with incoming students was BU President Melissa Gilliam.
