BU incoming freshmen Saku Cui (CAS’28) (from left), Kurt Lang (ENG’28), Erick Cestelos (CFA’28), and Ilyena Metzger (CFA’28) cleaned classrooms, pruned the schoolyard, and painted murals at Dorchester’s Mather Elementary School August 29 during their three days as First Year Student Outreach Project (FYSOP) volunteers. Here, they’re sharing a laugh while writing inspirational notes to Mather students. For 35 years, FYSOP has matched first-year students with a community service project around greater Boston the week before Matriculation.
