My Fellow Students, It is with great pleasure that I welcome you back to campus for another school year here on Commonwealth Avenue. As you hang your decorations around your room, I wanted to take a moment of your time to welcome you home. Whether this is your first week of college or your last time unloading a yellow cart, take a second to stop and enjoy this moment. The school year will fly by, and soon Thanksgiving recess will be here and then exams and first semester will come to a close. So bask in this accomplishment. You made it here. With the help of others, some family and friends, and a few strangers, you have arrived here at Boston University. You bring with you a unique narrative that no one else can tell as well as you.
