First-Year Student Outreach Project: Aug. 27–31 Want to get to know your new city while also serving the community? Then consider participating in FYSOP, a weeklong program focused on community engagement and service. You’ll volunteer with three different community partners over the course of the week, while making new friends and learning how to use public transit in Boston. As an added bonus, students who participate in FYSOP get to move into their dorms a whole week early.
