Call for Submissions: Alumnae Tea 2018 Speaker Series

Participate in this year's Alumnae Speaker Series program!

This event is free and is meant to provide an entertaining forum for sharing stories and advice on friendship, adventures, careers, family, and personal well-being. (Think Ted Talks)

Interested in telling YOUR story? We need more speakers! This program will take place Saturday, April 21st from 4-6pm, location TBD but near the house. Email Nicole Casanova at ncasa@bu.edu if you are interested in participating!
