Boston University Commencement 2024
The 151st All-University Commencement was held on Sunday, May 19, 2024, at 1 pm on Nickerson Field. The Class of 2024 enjoyed a celebratory Commencement-something most of them had to forego as high school seniors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. BU alumnus David Grann, the best-selling author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder, addressed graduates at the ceremony and received an honorary degree. Other honorary degree recipients were Dr. Walter Earl Fluker, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor Emeritus of Ethical Leadership in the School of Theology; Kenneth Feld, CEO of Feld Entertainment, BU Trustee Emeritus, and philanthropist; and Claudia Goldin, the Harvard University Henry Lee Professor of Economics and the 2023 recipient of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

Why Tracking Air Pollution is as Easy as Riding a Bike

That’s the vision a group of students at Boston University are working toward. For their senior design project, a team of College of Engineering underg...

Inside a lab in Boston University’s College of Engineering, a robot arm drops small, plastic objects into a box placed perfectly on the floor to catch them as they fall. One by one, these tiny structures-feather-light, cylindrical pieces, no bigger than an inch tall-fill the box. Some are red, others blue, purple, green, or black. Each object is the result of an experiment in robot autonomy. On...

    Iranian in name only. In her "home" culture, she wouldn't have dated for romance and heartbreak, she wouldn't have travelled abroad freely without a male chaperone to guard her chastity and honor, she wouldn't have taken the stage to speak as the class leader, she wouldn't have publicly endorsed a political position of any kind. Indeed, she is Iranian in name only. Let her go there and try living in her "home" culture for a year as she does in the West, where her parents brought her so that she could enjoy the American benefits of freedom, liberty, prosperity. She wouldn't last six months.

    At 56:00 Chomsky mentions the FBI investigation of 9/11. What he conspicuously fails to mention is that the FBI found no evidence Bin Laden did the deed. It's why the FBI never indicted Bin Laden for the crime of the century! For years, the FBI acknowledged this on its web site. Once, I was a huge fan of Chomsky. However, after the September 11, 2001 attacks I gradually lost confidence in the MIT scholar. I began to realize that Chomsky's endorsement of the official narrative was fishy. The official story about 9/11 is a tapestry of lies and deception, as any rational person who looks into the matter will quickly realize. So, how did the most rational man in the western world (i.e., Chomsky) fail to put this together? Eventually I came to believe that Chomsky can't go there because he knows or suspects that Israel (the Mossad) was actively involved in planning and staging what was surely a false flag operation. The twin towers obviously were destroyed with explosives. The plane impacts and fires could never have caused the perfect symmetrical collapses. This of course means the alleged 19 A-rab hijackers were patsies. Arab terrorists could never have gained access to the World Trade Center to plant the explosives. So, it had to be an inside operation. All the evidence points to the conclusion that the western financial elite staged 9/11 to accelerate world empire -- and escalate US military force world wide. It's no coincidence the countries that came under attack were Muslim adversaries of Israel. The Zionists were deeply involved in 9/11. But admitting this is a bridge too far for Chomsky who, in the final analysis, is himself a Zionist. I suspect he was advised through official Israeli channels to keep his mouth shut on the issue - and Chomsky toed the line.

    It made me happy to hear one of your students say, It, Covid and Covid restrictions, kinda made it harder to meet people. The pure poison of the "event" was an outcome of much people desirous of conducting the rest of their lives touch free; as well the creative movers and shakers portion of the populace inventing more and more ways to isolate EVERYONE, and, the devising of punishments "so greatly deserved," for people (having or with a primary concern of how and when to reverse such an ugly trend, holding on for fear of loss to one or two little things such as perhaps maintaining conversations with others who have no symptoms, or ordering from a clerk a fastfood meal at the counter) who break a little rule such as mask removal at "plus 6 feet" just so you can hear their voice understanding their words. Many were so inducted into the "invasion of the body snatchers" idiom, as to turn people in for other supposed offences against humanity. However, lying to each other; dividing the brotherhood of Christian disciple's communications, counsel, liberty of the annointed; theft; and covetousness increased immensely: and continues to threaten the overall gains of several decades for the human species. Even NATURAL CARE, AND CONCERNS For the environment (water cycle and air cyclic filtration and composition) necessary to sustain life for humans has become a freak secondary concern to wearing a mask in a public place: AND shows no deliberations to its return to any policy standard for funding, of operations or education, through taxes or charitable contributions nor public awareness. I read also that a particular college educator, (title ? was professor?) of air or atmospheric composition was murdered indistinguishable from a hate crime, or motive unknown. To me this little detail as insignificant as it sounds to others, means to ME all of our children of the age of which there exists no experiences of life any other way than through world wide communicable virus disease conditions have an angel of death all to themselves, ready to kill, steal, and destroy anyone ready to find solutions that make all of these problems be forced to return to their necessary miniscule level for concern. I heard someone take fifteen of my seconds if I agreed. I agreed. He said mostly here, in a very young country called America, lots of people can be heard to say problem this problem that. Insurance or fuel cost too high; freeway overcrowded; continually hungry by end of month. But you people here truly only know inconveniences. Not problems. Problems? Are when you and everyone you love are locked in the compartment of the train that has gas nozzles beginning to inject cyanide into the air. That IS a problem.
