BU Sustainability

This Friday, in collaboration with the City of Boston, BU hosted its first Fixit Clinic!

We had a wonderful time connecting with community members to help them repair their items. A huge thank you to all of our incredible volunteer coaches whose expertise made this event a success!

The next recipient of our 2026 Student Sustainability Leadership Award is Jerry Zhou!

Jerry has spent his time at BU building a movement — connecting students, city officials, and community advocates around the idea that you cannot have climate justice without mobility justice. As the founder of the BU Urbanism Club, he's given students a real voice in shaping their city: advocating for safer streets on campus, collecting 160+ signatures for protected bike lanes on Comm Ave, engaging Boston City Councilors, and lobbying on Capitol Hill at the National Bike Summit.

Jerry is also a founding employee of the BU Cycle Kitchen (BUCK) and an active member of the Environmental Student Organization, where he's broadened the club's reach and pulled others into urban sustainability work.

Thank you, Jerry, for the legacy you're leaving here at BU.
