Word & Way is the undergraduate student association of Core, and a recognized student group organized through SAO. The members of Word & Way—representing every academic program at Boston University—seek to support and broaden the Core community by bringing discussions of Core topics and texts out of the classroom, for the benefit of all interested students and BU community members. Word and Way is also a place to hone the academic skills of Core students by providing opportunities to lead and participate in discussions, as well as to learn how to apply Core learning in everyday and professional life. By fostering connections among Core students and representing Core on campus, Word & Way seeks as well to strengthen the Core community itself.
