Eagle Exchange is an interactive virtual platform that fosters connections between students and Boston College alumni. You can use Eagle Exchange to build your professional network, ask career-related questions, find alumni mentors, and more.
Eagle's Flight: Creating Pathways to Opportunities
Given the challenges of the global pandemic, the Career Center and Alumni Association launched the Eagle's Flight campaign to help Boston College graduates and current students find meaningful opportunities. Alumni have raised their hands to mentor 2021 graduates and current students through their job/internship search. If you're searching for an opportunity, we highly encourage you to reach out one of these alumni via Eagle Exchange and ask for their advice and assistance.
