About Public Affairs

What we do:
The Office of Public Affairs at Boston College is responsible for the University's interaction with the print, broadcast and on-line media as well as the dissemination of University news and information to its internal and external constituencies.

The Office provides online news to the University community daily through BCInfo, and publishes the Boston College Chronicle, the University's faculty and staff newspaper. The Chronicle is published every two weeks from September through May.

The Office of Public Affairs assists the media with access to faculty and administration as sources for news and expert opinion, and by informing the media of newsworthy events and issues occurring on campus.

The Office also provides public relations counsel and support to the entire University community on a variety of communication issues.
