The Boston University Global Parents Network (GPN) brings together BU’s international families to share information, build connections, and offer resources for your student’s success. Did you know that more than a quarter of our incoming undergraduates are international students?
The GPN offers a curated program of on-campus, international, and online events that feature University programming from our deans, faculty, and students both virtually and in person internationally; build an active community of BU parents around the world, supporting each other and engaging with the University; and connect our parents to the network of 43,000+ international BU Terriers.
On campus events
- Reception for international parents of incoming freshman during Orientation Week
International events
- Parent/alumni networking events
- Summer Send-Offs for students and their families
- Evenings with University leaders and distinguished faculty
- Admissions events
Virtual events
- Virtual presentations by University leadership
- Presentations by deans, students, and parents
A gift to GPN will go to support a range of on-campus initiatives, led by the dean of students, to provide an enriching experience for our global students and parents. Any amount is greatly appreciated and benefits your students on campus.
Thank you for your support! We hope to see you on campus or in your city soon. #ProudToBU
