Arts & Sciences

This Giving Day, support the College of Arts & Sciences—the heart of BU—where creativity, discovery, and impact thrive. Your gift powers bold ideas, breakthrough research, and real-world learning in undergraduate programs like Neuroscience, graduate initiatives such as BU URBAN, and faculty support through the Virginia Sapiro Academic Enhancement Fund—each enhancing in-course experiential learning, along with our Experiential Learning Connector.

Throughout the day, CAS programs will vie for challenge grants and matching gifts that unlock extra funds for stipends, travel, research, and hands-on learning. Your support empowers the programs you care about, enriching the CAS experience. With over 50 departments, centers, and institutes, CAS delivers dynamic, multidisciplinary education that drives innovation and societal impact. Whether shaping economic policy, preserving cultural heritage, or fueling public discourse, our students are making a difference.

At CAS, we’re not just Arts & Sciences—we’re Arts × Sciences: a multiplier of knowledge, opportunity, and impact. Join us this Giving Day and help shape a future driven by curiosity, collaboration, and purpose.

Giving Day at CAS is generously sponsored by Michelle Feinberg (CAS'91), John Giouroukakis (CAS'94, Parent Questrom'28), the Haynes Family Foundation, Evan Hirsch (CAS'03), Lucinda and Mitsuru Igarashi (Parents CAS'23), Karen Madden (CAS'91, Parent Questrom'25), and members of the Core Curriculum Alumni Board and CAS Dean's Advisory Board.
