Meet Zach Schwartz, Co-President of Liquid Fun
Zach Schwartz knew he loved the performing arts. He performed in his high school theater group, knew he could memorize a script, and knew exactly what to do on stage. Improv comedy was another matter.
When Schwartz (COM‘25) arrived at BU, a [...]friend encouraged him to join Liquid Fun, which bills itself as BU’s premier improv comedy troupe. He admits he spent his first freshman semester trying to muster up the courage to go on stage. “I was terrified,” he says. But when he finally got up on stage the following semester, he was instantly hooked: “I loved it.”
Schwartz has been with the group ever since, and this year is club copresident.
“Liquid Fun has changed my college experience,” Schwartz says. “I hate to use the word tremendously, but it’s true. I think it was probably the best decision I’ve ever made at BU.”
Now, as a senior and the troupe’s copresident, Schwartz says he hopes to foster an environment where students can feel comfortable putting themselves out there. His goal: offering the BU community the opportunity to try their hand at improv, even if they’re nervous.
“I want to live my life in a way that gives back to people, and I think art can do that,” he says. “I think there are so many art forms that are beautiful and that help people so often.”

Meet Boston University Student Chloe Patel: President of AdClub
As president of AdClub, BU’s preprofessional advertising agency, Chloe Patel (COM’24) wears many hats. As the person in charge of running the agency, she’s responsible for educating students about the advertising profession’s multiple facets [...]and offering professional development for Terriers interested in pursuing a career in the industry. Since AdClub is open to all majors and levels, it is split into two groups, varsity and JV (junior varsity). Varsity functions like a bona fide ad agency, where students are placed in teams and assigned real clients with real expectations while being mentored by Patel and AdClub’s E-Board members. Past clients have ranged from other BU clubs, such as Feel Good, to established brands such as B/Spoke, Cheese Louise, and No Chewing Allowed! The JV group is aimed at advertising newbies who want to learn more about the field and gain a better understanding of how an actual agency’s departments, like management, strategy, and creative, work.
Patel and her E-Board cohorts also develop workshops on Adobe Photoshop, Resume, and LinkedIn for club members throughout the year. In addition, she organizes agency visits and speaker events that provide networking and professional development opportunities. The goal of the club is to completely immerse members in the advertising world, allowing them to learn and gain experience at the same time.
“During my time as AdClub president I have tried to emphasize the social aspects of the club,” Patel says. “The majority of our members are in their first and second years at BU and still navigating college, so we have a great opportunity to connect them with each other so that they can learn from one another and, of course, build relationships and their networks.”
After she graduates in May, Patel hopes to pursue a career in sports journalism or advertising, building on her experience as AdClub president.

Terriers in Charge: Meet Madison Miranda, President of the Puerto Rican Student Association
When Madison Miranda (Questrom’24) arrived at BU from her home in Puerto Rico for her freshman year, she was homesick for the food and culture she had grown up with. Her family had recently relocated from Long Island to Aguadilla, a town on the [...]northwest coast of Puerto Rico, where they now run a jet ski rental company. Prior to that, they would gather with relatives in the New York area for meals featuring well-loved Puerto Rican dishes and travel into Manhattan for the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade.
Miranda’s freshman year coincided with the height of the COVID pandemic, when many students were taking classes via Zoom. She found it hard to meet other students, but during Splash, BU’s annual student club fair, she discovered BU’s Puerto Rican Student Association [https://bu.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/puerto-rican-student-association] (PRSA) and immediately signed up. The club is open to any student interested in learning about Puerto Rican culture, and it seeks to foster a sense of community among students with Puerto Rican heritage (whether in the United States or elsewhere) through on-campus social events and off-campus outings.
“I missed the food I’d grown up with. I missed the weather in Puerto Rico and the beaches,” Miranda says, recalling her first year on campus. “It was hard getting used to the cold weather and I wanted to find others here at BU who understood what I was going through.”
Because she wanted to make sure the club was creating and planning events, she joined the club’s E-board as treasurer sophomore year. Now, she’s president of the club, which currently has approximately 40 members.
“It’s made me happy to be able to provide opportunities for Puerto Rican students to come together, relax, and share our cultural heritage,” Miranda says, and that the club is able to provide members with a sense of home, when home is often very far away.

BU Beekeeping Club - Visiting the Hive
Urban beekeeping at Boston University has never been more popular, with more than 200 students signing up for the BU Beekeeping club. But building a happy, healthy hive? In the city? That's the real challenge.
BU’s beekeepers have ordered [...]bees by mail for several years in a row, but the bees have mysteriously departed the hive each time, leaving the Beekeeping club bee-less. It's a depressing, but it aligns with other data showing that Massachusetts lost 37 percent of honeybee colonies last winter. This time BU Beekeeping hopes their new hive will thrive and stay.

BU Beekeeping Club - Installing the Hive
The bees came to BU from Georgia last May, all 10,000 of them, sent by overnight mail in a screened box slightly bigger than a briefcase.
Officials in the Boston University beekeeping club picked up the thrumming box at Fed Ex counter in Boston [...]much to the relief of the terrified mail clerk, and brought the bees to their new home on the Charles River.
The day had finally arrived, one the beekeepers had eagerly anticipated all spring, but the fun was just getting started. How do you get 10,000 bees into a new hive?
