BU Korean Graduate Students Association

About BU Korean Graduate Students Association

Based in Boston, MA, the BU Korean Graduate Students Association represents a vibrant community of Korean scholars pursuing graduate studies at Boston University. This student-led organization exists to bridge connections among fellow Korean graduate students, alumni, and the broader Boston Korean community, creating a supportive network rooted in shared cultural identity and academic aspirations. BU KGSA recognizes that graduate students benefit tremendously from meaningful relationships with peers who understand both the challenges of advanced academic work and the unique experiences of Korean students navigating life in Boston.

At its core, BU KGSA is committed to fostering genuine community bonds while contributing positively to Boston University's multicultural environment. The association believes in the power of cultural exchange and knowledge sharing to enrich not only the Korean student experience but the entire university community. Through hosting networking gatherings, collaborating with other Korean graduate student groups throughout Boston, and organizing social and professional events, BU KGSA creates spaces where students can find belonging, build lasting friendships, and support one another through the graduate school journey.

The organization values the contributions that Korean graduate students bring to Boston University and the Boston area. By connecting students with one another and with the local Korean community, BU KGSA helps members feel grounded and supported while pursuing their academic goals. The association's commitment to building bridges between generations—from current students to alumni—ensures that Korean scholars at Boston University maintain meaningful relationships that extend well beyond their time in the classroom, creating a lasting legacy of community and mutual support.
