Dear Boston College Senior,
Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! We are pleased to share the schedule for Senior Week 2021. Below you will find a variety of programs offered by the Senior Week Committee as well as partners across campus. Despite the capacity restrictions and health and safety guidelines related to Covid-19, we aimed to add elements of Senior Week traditions into the programs.
A few things to note:
All senior week events are being offered FREE of charge this year with two exceptions: (Duck Boat Tours and the Golf Outing at Newton Commonwealth.) The cost associated with alcohol at events serving alcohol (with the exception of the champagne toast) will be your responsibility.
To allow for as many students as possible to attend the different signature events, you will notice that certain events are offered over two days/nights, and offer multiple seatings (to comply with restaurant or event capacity guidelines.) Please only RSVP to each program for one time to allow others to participate as well.
As you navigate the event details, you will notice that most require an RSVP and links and details are provided. Please note the RSVP deadlines for the signature events are on Friday, May 14. We understand there are a lot of areas to navigate, and appreciate your patience as we ensure compliance with event guidelines.
In accordance with Massachusetts guidelines, masks must be worn at all events, even outdoors, unless actively eating or drinking.
Thank you,
Claire Ostrander, Director, OSI
Hannah Klein, Graduate Assistant, OSI
