Boston University strives to be accessible, inclusive, and diverse in our facilities, programming and academic offerings. Your experience in this event is important to us. If you have a disability (including but not limited to learning or attention, mental health, concussion, vision, mobility, hearing, physical or other health-related), that requires communication access services for the deaf or hard of hearing, or believe that you require a reasonable accommodation for another reason please contact the Dean of Students Office at dos@bu.edu by Monday, April 28, to discuss your needs. 

What is Senior Breakfast?

The Senior Breakfast is BU tradition that predates the George Sherman Union, Warren Towers and Walter Brown Arena. The exact year is not known, but we do have photos from the 1952 and 1953 Senior Breakfasts to show that it at least goes back that long. Back in those days, the event was held on Marsh Plaza and alumni were invited. (No, we don’t know what they did if it rained.)

Just like the original versions of the event, the undergraduate senior class is celebrated. Also, we announce the news everyone has been waiting for: this year’s Commencement speakers, Honorary Degree Recipients, and the 2025 Senior Week events!

On the menu for this year’s Senior Breakfast is a roasted grape tomato, spinach, and mozzarella strata, served with sides of lyonnaise potatoes and chicken apple sausage links. Fruit salad with fresh berries and assorted pastries will also be available for your enjoyment. Please notify your server if you have a dietary restriction, as we have alternative meals upon request.
