know who your neighbors are As far flung as we are, getting
back to campus is hard and sometimes making those connections
where you are can be difficult especially if you don’t
know who exactly you’re looking for. The good news is we
have solutions for that, not an app yet, but we’re working on it!
● Show your colors. Fly a BU flag outside your house;
put a BU bumper sticker on your car; wear a BU shirt
when you’re out and about in town. Don’t have a current
one or one at all Easy- The BU bookstore is online
www.bethelu.bkstr.com and accepts major credit cards.
When you do make those connections, and we know you
will, send us a picture and the story of how you connected
to carlockm@bethelu.edu. You never know where the
story will show up.
● Let us bring BU to you. In 2014 we hope to help you
renew friendships and make new ones by hosting Alumni
Gatherings all over the place. Development Officers
