Dear Eagles,
As we move towards the end of the spring semester, I want to take a moment to remind you of Boston College’s wide network of resources that can provide support and care for our community, including Campus Ministry (located in McElroy, 233) and University Counseling Services (UCS, located in Gasson Hall 001). UCS has same-day appointments available as well as a mental health clinician on call (24/7) to speak with students at 617-552-3310 x 2, In addition, staff from our Dean of Students Office (located in Maloney 448), are available to meet with students to offer support and provide information about reporting and additional resources. Students can stop by to schedule a meeting or reach out via phone at (617-552-3470) or email (deanofstudents@bc.edu).
We encourage everyone in our community to help us address concerns by reporting them through our Reporting Forms. Taking care of yourselves and one another is an essential part of what it means to be an Eagle. I encourage you to reach out when you need support and to extend compassion to those around you.
As we look ahead, this week, we also want to remind Seniors to keep an eye out for The Ignatian Path Through the Heights, a campus pilgrimage created to reflect on your time as an Eagle. We continue to highlight Women's History Month celebrations and invite the community to Cian T. McMahon’s lecture, Saint Patrick’s Day and the Rise of the Global Irish Diaspora.
With Care,
Dr. Shawna Cooper Whitehead
