BU and the Economics Department have different resources available to aid in your success during your stay at the university.
Department of Economics Mentoring Program
In addition to the peer adviser, our department has a Graduate Economics Association (GEA). While the GEA has many functions, one of its primary functions is to run a mentorship program for incoming graduate students. A mentor can be a great resource if you have questions while settling into your graduate program and life in Boston. I encourage you to email the GEA if you have questions at mailgea@bu.edu.
BU Graduate Student Organization (GSO)
The Graduate Student Organization is Boston University's official representative body for students in the College of Arts and Sciences. The GSO meets throughout the course of the year and performs many functions, from acting as a liaison between students and the administration to providing funding for research-related travel. You can read more about the resources available through the GSO here!
