It's so true @HumphreysLab: "the worst performers were the givers... And yet... the higher the giving behavior, the better the organization performs on every measure of productivity that he could measure. Givers sacrifice themselves, but they make their organizations better.👏👏

As an estimated 2,000 people looked on, Melissa L. Gilliam was installed as Boston University’s 11th president at an inauguration ceremony at Agganis Arena on September 27. The historic event was marked by pageantry, music, and a nod to BU’s rich history. ❤️🐾

Take a look 👀⬇️
