Reflections: “What Does Valentine’s Day Mean to You?”

REFLECTIONS is a weekly column that aims to capture the diversity of the BU population through their portraits and voices. Each week, five BU students are photographed and asked to offer their insight on a topic. The students and topics change each week.
