Boston College is minutes away from the Old North Church, Bunker Hill, the U.S.S. Constitution, the Museums of Fine Arts and Science, the Boston Symphony, the Elma Lewis Center for the Performing Arts, more than 50 centers of higher education and research, and nationally recognized organizations representing every major entertainment and sports activity.
To say that Boston has an extraordinary wealth of institution al resources is truly an understatement. Equally, if not more important, Boston is rich in the cultural and ethnic diversity of its people. The contributions of Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians increasingly play a prominent role in the life of the area, and all major religious traditions, as well as many lesser known ones, are part of the Boston community.
Boston College is fortunate to have these resources to draw upon to enrich its own educational environment. This is especially true for graduate students in the Psychology Department for whom these opportunities are often directly relevant to their research and scholarly activities.
