Terrier Athletes Perform Amazing Feats of Community

First-year student phenom Macklin Celebrini was the top overall pick in the 2024 NHL draft. The men’s hockey team made it to the Frozen Four for the second year running. And a dominant women’s softball team went undefeated in conference play, winning its fifth Patriot League title in six seasons.

But the prowess of our athletes isn’t limited to face-offs and strike zones. They are crushing it in the classroom and the community.

Women’s golf earned the highest grade point average (3.72), leading all 24 BU programs. Beyond the classroom, our athlete-scholars performed more than 2,000 hours of community service, from Thanksgiving meal packaging at the Salvation Army’s Kroc Center to the annual Holiday Reading Program with Boston schools to volunteering at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk through the American Cancer Society. And track standout Sonja Dommen(Sargent’24) mentored students at Boston and Newton Public Schools, helped organize a clinic for women in sports, and promoted Sexual Violence Awareness programming on BU’s campus.

From feats of athleticism to academic achievement to community awareness and activism, BU Athletics has shown it is at the core of campus life—and beyond.
