And just like that it seems, 2024 is half over. June was a jubilant month on campus, with members of the BU community coming together to celebrate Pride Month and honor the Juneteenth holiday. The month also saw the first heat wave of the season-one that broke records-and the arrival on campus of hundreds of members of the Class of 2028 and transfer students for first-year orientation.

Enjoy our favorite moments captured by BU Today photographers during the past month.
