Dear Friends of Core: We’ve accomplished so much this Giving Day– we hope you will join us at bit.ly/SupportCore for one last push to get the most donors for the Arts and Sciences Donor Challenge by midnight. “Friends enhance our ability to think and to act.” Aristotle
Thank you for helping us reach our matching goal of $5,000! We’ve now raised over $10,000 from 88 supporters! Your support makes a tangible difference in a Core student’s learning experience. Visit bit.ly/SupportCore to SPONSOR-A-BOOK for a Core student by midnight tonight.
Core students witness entire worlds brought to life through the lens of Core texts. Put these worlds in the hands of Core students through your donation at bit.ly/SupportCore
Many of you have already participated in our SPONSOR-A-BOOK challenge today and we are incredibly grateful. If you have not yet, consider giving $5 for one of the above Core texts. Find the full list at bit.ly/SupportCore.
With 55 supporters we currently hold third in most unique donors and we’ve raised over $3,500 toward our matching goal of $5,000. Help push us closer by selecting a Core text to sponsor at bit.ly/SupportCore.
Every year we honor the accomplishments of Core students and faculty at the Core Banquet. Give today at bit.ly/SupportCore to continue the tradition of celebrating and supporting Core students throughout their time at BU.
Core students who take CC201 are eligible to go to Florence in January following the end of their course. Visit bit.ly/SupportCore to see what books you can sponsor for a Core student this Giving Day!
SPONSOR-A-BOOK for a Core student today. Visit the bit.ly/SupportCore to see what books you can sponsor this Giving Day. As little as $5 buys a copy of the Analects, Paradise Lost, or Inferno while also pushing us toward our matching goal of $5,000!
Join Core this Giving Day in raising funds for our lending library. The Core Lending Library ensures all students in Core have books in hand from the very first class. Use bit.ly/SupportCore to see our goals this year! Giving Day begins tonight at midnight.
Have a palate cleanser, friends. This is Lily, the unemployed and benignly chaotic mutt, on a recent morning constitutional at Crocker Conservation Area.
And it’s the morning and let’s see how we did and okay oh no we did not get one more follower, pack it up team, we need to rethink our approach.

I recently spoke to @BurckhardtBooks about my career, book history, fore-edge paintings, and all sorts of things! The first of three episodes is up now: burckhardtbooks.com/podcast (Related: a selfie I took with the first book I looked at in a reading room, @CRC_EdUni MS19 😍)
It is rumored that students who register for CL161: Ancient Greek 1 are immediately overtaken by a profound sense of ἀταραξία (or so we've been told)
“Usus, non lectio prudentes facit.” “The use, not the reading, of books makes us wise,” from Geoffrey Whitney’s Choice of Emblems (1586).
English lit degree at Sheffield Hallam is being “suspended.” University responding to Government who will no longer fund degrees where 60% students don’t end up in “highly skilled” jobs within 6 months.
