Boston College

Clad in Superfan shirts imprinted with their class motto “For Here All Are One,” incoming freshmen attempt to spell out the word “Eagle” with their arms at the Robsham Theater Arts Center on July 24 at the closing event for a three-day orientation program, one of seven held throughout the summer.

Some 2,400 freshmen will visit campus this summer through the Office of First Year Experience. During their stay, students live in residence halls, meet with faculty advisors, and register for first semester courses.

“We want to help students maximize their experience here,” says Fr. Joseph Marchese, First Year Experience director. “They become familiar with their surroundings and learn more about the uniqueness of Boston College as a Jesuit and Catholic University.”
