The Office of Research has opened research activity for Phase 3 of BU’s four-phase reopening process slated to begin in August to allow in-person lab bench research to raise their occupancy limits to above 50 percent, and to open computational and theoretical labs and offices to 50 percent occupancy.

An antiracism theme has been chosen for this year’s Art Days to promote further thought and discussion. Art Days will be in the spring semester as usual, but we are providing the theme in advance. (Non-theme submissions will be acceptable, but the thematic works will be highlighted hopefully to serve as a springboard for additional presentations/discussions.)
