Student Coordinators

The ASDB Coordinators are the student leaders of the Admissions Student Diversity Board. They oversee the four committees and their members, and collaborate with the Multicultural Recruitment Team to plan events such as Boston University Overnight and Mosaic Community Welcome for prospective and admitted students of BU.
