Welcome to the BSU family!
The Division for Student Life provides family members with a direct contact that can be utilized when they are trying to assist or advocate for their student. Justin McCauley, the Director of Family Relations and Divisional Communications can be reached at jmccauley@bridgew.edu or within the Student Life office in 106 Boyden Hall. If you are trying to help your student navigate an issue at BSU and do not know where to begin, you can reach him by calling 508.531.1276.
While there is not a formal Family/Supporter Orientation program for the start of the Spring 2026 semester, BSU recognizes the vital role that family and other members of our students’ support network play in their ongoing success. We are excited to partner with you and assist you in helping your BSU Bear successfully navigate their time at the university.
Family/Supporters with a student starting in the Fall 2026 semester will have the opportunity to register (2) family members to attend an orientation program that runs concurrently to their students' program. First-Year students will have a Summer Crimson Orientation date in the month of June, while transfer students have their program in the month of August. You can learn more about making an account on EngageBSU to register for a Family/Supporter Orientation here!
