Boston College researchers express concern over the NSF's temporary grant freeze and new funding restrictions under Trump's executive order. While funding has resumed, uncertainty over DEI guidelines and potential NIH cuts raises fears about the future of research support.

Navigating a predominantly white institution like BC as a minority can pose difficulties—especially for incoming students. SC was founded in hopes of instilling a sense of community for students feeling lost while also giving them the chance to express themselves.

Just two weeks before the start of my freshman year, I was welcomed into a community that completely shifted the trajectory of both my life and experience here at BC. The BC F1RST College Transition Program (CTP) provides support and guidance to help students succeed. They offer programs that foster relationships with faculty, encourage the use of university resources, and cultivate intentional connections that will benefit students throughout their college careers. It was truly heaven-sent for a student like me, who grew up in Georgia and was moving across the country for the first time in my life.
