A year ago this week, Boston University made the unprecedented announcement that it was shutting down dorms and sending students home as the COVID-19 pandemic surged in Boston.
As the one-year anniversary of that historic move approached, we invited members of the BU community to tell us their unsung heroes of the pandemic a teacher, student, staff person, or alum who made a difference in their life, and the life of the University.
We heard from dozens of you, giving shout-outs across the University, from BU’s Facilities staff to some of the many COVID collection site specialists to the Residence Life staff. Together, these folks have helped all of us weather this extraordinarily challenging year.
