  • Cross Registration for Boston Consortium At
    Cross Registration Instructions for Boston Consortium Students BUSPH welcomes students from Boston Consortium colleges (Boston College, Brandeis University, Tufts University and Hebrew College) to cross‐register for one course per semester during the fall and spring semesters. Policy and Procedures o Incoming students must first obtain an approved cross‐registration form from their home institution. o The completed cross‐registration form must be signed by the student’s advisor or dean, and by the Boston University course instructor. An e‐mail is an acceptable substitute for signature for Boston University. o Approval from a course instructor to be registered is academic approval; it does not guarantee a seat in a School of Public Health class. Cross‐registering students are registered, space‐available, approximately one month before the start of the semester. o The signed cross‐registration form must be submitted to the School of Public Health Registrar’s Office along with a completed BUSPH non‐degree registration form, available at http://sph.bu.edu/registrar/forms. o The BUSPH Registrar’s Office staff will send the completed packet to the Boston University Registrar’s Office for processing. Upon completion of the official registration, the student will receive a non‐photo part‐time Boston University identification card. Students are urged to obtain a Boston University photo ID card from the Medical Campus ID Office and have the card coded for building entry prior to the start of classes. o International students must abide by Boston University health and immunization policies and submit the required documentation to Boston University Student Health Services, 881 Commonwealth Avenue, no later than seven (7) days after the start of the semester in which they are registered.

  • SIMSE Postdoc Call for Applications FINAL
    The Wheelock College of Education & Human Development at Boston University (BU) is seeking applications for a qualified postdoctoral associate to work under the mentorship of Drs. Nathan Jones and Lynsey Gibbons (BU) and Drs. Julie Cohen, Robert Berry, and Vivian Wong (University of Virginia) on an NSF-funded research grant. Research activities focus on improving the preparation of elementary mathematics teachers to support students with disabilities. Specifically, the candidate will work with the BU/UVA research team to: a) Convene a panel of national experts to define effective mathematics practices for students with disabilities; b) Develop mathematics curricular materials for mixed-reality simulations and related supports to improve preservice elementary teachers’ mathematics teaching; c) Test the effectiveness of the simulations and related education curricular materials in a multi-site randomized control trial The selected Candidate will be located at the Boston University site and will have a leadership role on this project. Initial appointment will be for 2 years, with opportunities to extend this initial contract. The salary for this position is supported by a research grant from NSF and funds from this grant are distributed on an annual basis. Thus, the continued appointment is contingent upon receiving the fund from NSF, which has already been pledged for 4 years and which we are confident will be received. In year 1, responsibilities will include preparing for the expert panel by creating preliminary resources, co-developing interview protocols, supporting analysis of panel proceedings, and participating in collaborative research on best practices for mathematics in special education. In year 2, the Postdoctoral Associate will work with the research team to develop curricular materials on the findings of the panel, including the design of mixed reality simulations.

From postponed seasons and canceled games to team quarantines and virtual classes, these changes included the ways in which student-athletes were able to engage with their communities. New and creative ways to reach people were rolled out as elementary school visits turned into zoom calls, visits to animal shelters changed to students creating dog toys out of old t-shirts. Letters were written, videos were made, food was donated as these student-athletes found safe ways to support those in need. While participation and hours may be lower than some of the past years, the spirit of giving back and helping others is as high as ever! 2.29million economic impact 1.
