Update on fall semester
A letter from Boston College President William P. Leahy, S.J.
Whether it’s in the classroom or the research lab, on stage or on the playing field, amazing things happen at Boston College every day. We’re here to help you share them with the world.
In the Office of University Communications, we turn faculty research into placements in traditional and social media, and student accomplishments into viral videos. Our comprehensive news coverage shines a light on every corner of campus, and our web, design services, and marketing teams bring new programs and initiatives to life.
The Office of University Communications maintains the Boston College Events Calendar, a centralized resource useful for promoting campus lectures, discussions, concerts, seminars, performances, and other events organized through the University community.
To enter an event, BC community members can click “submit an event” on the BC events webpage and specify the event name, description, location, and time. Multiple filters such as event type and audience type can be added to sort the event. By selecting a web filter, events will automatically appear on the school, department, or office website for increased visibility.
For questions regarding the calendar, contact Christine Balquist, University Communications Assistant.
