Healthy Husky

BU's campus-wide health and wellness initiative focuses on education and prevention, and features our Husky PAWS (Peer Assisted Wellness Services). These students are trained to support and educate their peers about various health issues that affect student success. You'll see PAWS all over campus with giveaways, games and activities, handouts, and more to help you live well so you can learn well.
