Join BU’s Research Community for an hour of reflection and connection

Inspired by Hanami, the Japanese tradition of cherry blossom season which focuses on reflecting on growth, change. and the beauty of fleeting moments.
Breakthroughs in research, much like cherry blossoms, can be brief but they are always worth celebrating.
The 3C Event offers a relaxed, informal space to recharge and share experiences alongside your colleagues.
What to Expect
- Creative Crafting: Get involved with paper blossom making and origami
- Meaningful Connection: A relaxed forum to exchange ideas and discuss your research journey
- Refreshments: Enjoy a selection of treats while you chat
