You might think Plato and Seneca would be far from the minds of any Boston high schooler in the middle of July. Think again.
A Boston University Center for the Humanities (BUCH) program, funded by a grant from the Teagle Foundation, brought 11 underserved and low-income Boston-area high school students to BU virtually, this year, because of COVID to study the classics and help them prepare for college. All are rising juniors and seniors with higher education in their sights and an eagerness to participate in discussions.
