FACES First Year Program: Facing Forward

The goal of Facing Forward is to challenge first year students to address the notions of race that they have been exposed to through the environment in which they have lived. Students in Facing Forward will explore issues of identity, the realities of racism and institutionalized systems of privilege in the United States. Through constructive dialogue, sharing experiences in a group setting, and cooperating with their peers in the program, Facing Forward will work through these issues and make a positive impact on the Boston College community. The work that students do in Facing Forward is intended to motivate them to pursue leadership roles within and beyond Boston College. Finally, Facing Forward aims to give first year students a positive educational foundation from with they will be able to further their knowledge and understanding about the systems that affect their reality.
