BU’s three-day summer Orientation sessions are designed for new students to make friends, get to know the campus, register for classes, meet with a faculty or academic advisor, get their student ID, and learn about available resources. Oh, and a variety of fun social events are built in. Juliet Stein (CGS'17, Questrom’19) and Zachary Prescott (Questrom'19) are two of the student advisors on tap to help make Orientation easy and fun for new Terriers. Photo by Cydney Scott

Kids need exposure to language from birth to fully develop thinking skills. BU researchers are using the tools of linguistics, behavioral psychology, cognitive science, and education to understand how deaf children acquire language and, in turn, how best to teach them.
