BU Plays Host to BPS Students

Boston University hosted students from Boston Public Schools’ Young Men’s Summer Institute for three days of hands-on activities and opportunities to learn about educational and career pathways. The Summer Institute is a six week leadership program that prepares BPS students for success through mentorship, leadership development, college and career exploration, financial literacy, and more. During their visit to BU, the students met with faculty, researchers, clinicians, engineers, and staff from across BU’s Charles River and Medical Campuses.
