Please take a moment to read about these undergraduate organizations, and know they are a wonderful way to begin to build the community that will sustain you during your time at Questrom. These organizations were created and are led by undergraduate students, so if you think,“Hey, why is this community not represented?,” we hope you can help us to create that space!
If you are interested in creating an undergraduate organization, SAO (Student Activities Office) handles creation of all undergraduate clubs. Here is where you can learn more. Please contact sao@bu.edu if you want more information.

The club promotes awareness of cultural diversity, with the goal to give more voice to this underrepresented group.
