I know what you’re thinking, it’s only January 19th, why are we already talking about FYSOP? FYSOP is particularly on our minds as the new Program Managers. We want to introduce ourselves and let you know what’s going on in the world of FYSOP!

My name is Austin and I am currently a second semester senior in the College of Arts & Sciences studying International Relations & Political Science. I am originally from South Lake Tahoe California and in my free time I enjoy running, writing spoken word poetry, and cycling. This will be my third year working with FYSOP and I am really excited to work with all of the new FYCOs and FYSTAFF in addition to the incoming freshmen.

Hi everyone! I’m Sasha. I’m a senior in CAS studying Environmental Policy & Analysis and Biology. I am originally from the greater Boston area, where I still live and go to school. Last spring I studied abroad in Costa Rica and fell in love with the country. This spring I am super excited to be a part of FYSOP again! When I’m not daydreaming about how wonderful FYSOP is, or planning my next trip to Costa Rica, I enjoy reading, going to shows in Boston, and trying new recipes. I can’t wait for FYSOP23 to get going. Come out to summer leadership info sessions and get to know us!

Hey guys,

Its been almost 3 weeks since FYSOP 22 ended and we hope that a lot of you are still enjoying the FYSOP high. FYSOP might only last a week but that doesn’t mean you can’t continue to make an impact on the city of Boston through our center (applications available online: bu.edu/csc) or through other venues. Below is a collection of multimedia moments from the week of FYSOP that we put together for your viewing pleasure. If we missed anything just post a comment and we’ll try to add the link.

FYSOP went by fast, real fast. In five days, 229 staff members and 984 first-year students came together to do 25,000 hours of community service throughout the Boston Area. While we thoroughly enjoyed every minute, yes the sugar crashes, the constant references to Hurricane Irene and the 5AM wake up calls we want to hear from you. Post anything (pictures, stories, emoticons, video responses) in either the comments section or send it to us via email (fysop@bu.edu). We hoped that you enjoyed it as much as we did.
