#BC2024: Can you guess the home of BC Football? Alumni Stadium is where our Boston College Eagles take the field on weekends. First constructed in 1957, Alumni Stadium has been renovated numerous times, with its current seating capacity at 44,500. As a proud member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), our BC Eagles face off against opponents like the Clemson Tigers and the Miami Hurricanes. There are only 15 stadiums (college or pro) in the entire country with the 13HD technology that was introduced at Alumni Stadium; and BC is the only ACC school with the advanced outdoor video resolution. Go Eagles!

#BC2024: Do you know which one of our 8 libraries is the oldest? It's the one and only Bapst Library which opened in 1925! Bapst is well known as a home for students looking for absolute quiet to study. In 1993, the library was designated as the Art Library and it continues to support the University's increasingly interdisciplinary teaching and research needs. The Bapst Library contains over 51,000 volumes, 150 serial titles, and provides access to hundreds of databases, electronic journals and books. Bapst offers approximately 400 quiet study spaces in a combination of individual carrels and tables. Plus, it feels like you’re in Hogwarts when you’re sitting among the Bapst stacks! #BC2024 #BC360

#BC2024: Do you know how many libraries you have to choose from at Boston College? There are 8 libraries for you to choose from with over 700 databases for your use! The O'Neill Library, the main research library, is located centrally on main campus.

At BC, we use reflection as a tool to explore and grow into our best selves. It is not until we understand our own motivations that we truly become people for others. During this difficult time, we hope you feel called to reflect often and deeply. Let us know what you have been reflecting on these last few months in the comments below! #BeAttentive #BeReflective #BeLoving
