OIA Passport Program<\/h3>\n

This year, we\u2019re excited to launch the OIA Passport<\/strong> \u2014 a new initiative to help you get the most out of your student experience!<\/p>\n

By participating in events throughout the year, you\u2019ll collect stamps in your passport. Students who reach the participation threshold will be entered into a draw for grand prizes<\/strong> at the end of the academic year.<\/p>\n

How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Attend sessions, workshops, and field trips listed above<\/li>\n
  • Collect a stamp for each eligible activity<\/li>\n
  • Activities marked with a \ud83c\udf1f<\/strong> count toward your OIA Passport<\/li>\n
  • Reach the goal, and you\u2019ll be entered to win!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How to Get Your OIA Passport:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • New students<\/strong>: Your OIA Passport will be included in your welcome package.<\/li>\n
    • Returning students<\/strong>: Please stop by the Office of International Activities (OIA) to pick up your passport anytime starting in January.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Start collecting \ud83c\udf1f stamps and make the most of your BU experience!<\/p>\n
