Initiatives

Goal 1

Prepare our most vulnerable students and graduates of 2020-2023 for security and success in the post-pandemic economy

  • Launch Your Career: Job Search During a Pandemic Boston University

    Boston University's new 'Launch Your Career: Job Search During a Pandemic' initiative is a self-paced Blackboard-based course designed to provide seniors, recent alumni, and interested juniors with career-search skills, tools for resiliency, finance and time management tips, resources for succeeding in the virtual world, and advice about connecting to BU alumni and others for mentoring, career development and potential internship opportunities. As the pandemic alters professional opportunities and learning experiences, and heightens student and young alumni concerns about their future, this initiative will connect students with timely resources to help shape and plan for their career.

Goal 2

Support and partner with our communities and government in an inclusive recovery through and after COVID-19, focusing on displaced workers, adult learners, PK-12 systems, economic development, community health and COVID-19 support

  • The COVID Racial Data Tracker Boston University

    The COVID Racial Data Tracker is a collaboration between the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research and the COVID Tracking Project at The Atlantic, with a goal of gathering the most complete and up-to-date race and ethnicity data on COVID-19 in the United States to shine a light on racial inequities in public health. Nationwide, COVID-19 has affected Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other people of color the most. Death rates among Black people are 1.4 times the rate of white people and account for 15% of COVID-19 deaths where race is known.
