The Freshmen Find is a week-long competition open to first-year students. The purpose of the event is for you to get to know more about BC, particularly by interacting with members of the faculty and staff. Individual professors and administrators challenge teams to tasks, share an area of expertise and provide fun opportunities to bond as a team.
The Find takes place during the Spring semester.
The Third Annual Freshmen Find (April 6-14, 2008)
Winners:
Team Delicious Hot Capicola
(Mike Sheehan, Nick DelVino, Scott Nicholson, and John Magdziak)
Team Debrah
(Justin Pike, Michelle Maglio, Cristina Manzano, and Rob Celin)
Here's some feedback from this year's participants:
"Overall I thought the Find was actually phenomenal. I really enjoyed the experience of being able to explore the campus and find out what BC has to offer other than the obvious. There are some truly sensational stories, programs, and places associated with Boston College, and I am really glad that I got the opportunity to discover them."
“It really opened my eyes to how open and involved the faculty are in student life if you allow them to be.”
"This is a really awesome program, we have been really into it all week and really excited about it. Keep running it for future freshmen!!"
"One of the most interesting weeks so far at Boston College…"
"I had an amazing week. We had so much fun and learned so much from all these people. It was really a great activity, a great way to explore the campus and a great way to bond with each other!"
