All of our events reflect the Dean of Students’ commitment to fostering a culture of care in the 51²è¹Ý community, increasing knowledge around critical resources and forms of support for students, and creating a safe, welcoming environment for all.

Students at apartment

Breakfast Club

Show care for the community by cleaning up local off-campus neighborhoods for an hour each Sunday during home game football weekends. Volunteers meet at 10:30 a.m. and are given gloves, a trash bag, a 51²è¹Ý Breakfast Club t-shirt, and a sense of fellowship! Cleanup is followed by a free and tasty meal at Eagle’s Deli, courtesy of the Office of the Dean of Students. For more information, contact offcampus@bc.edu.

Off-Campus Housing Fairs

At our housing fairs, undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in or planning to live off campus can meet with rental agencies, internet providers, furniture rental companies, and more to learn about the off-campus housing market. Swing through!

During this annual community-building challenge, off-campus students compete for amazing prizes, the title of best holiday spirit, and the Jubilee trophy by decorating the inside or outside of their apartment! To enter your apartment, email offcampus@bc.edu with your off-campus address and roommates’ names.

Deans & Donuts

On the final Friday of every month, we invite students to our office for donuts and to celebrate the end of another month of hard work. We center each event around a different theme with important resources, guest visitors, and raffle trivia to match it!

Mile 21 Sign-Making Event

We provide the crafting supplies, you provide the enthusiasm and athletic spirit! The Friday before Marathon Monday we take over the Maloney Hall 4th floor lobby for students, faculty, and staff to make posters cheering on peers, friends, family, and legends running the Boston Marathon. Come for the crafts and stay for the snacks, marathon trivia, health and safety resources, giveaways, and demonstrations!

House Visits

At important times of the year, undergraduate students living off campus between Lake Street and South Street can expect our staff to stop by, check in, and drop off some treats! Not home when we come by? No worries—we’ll leave the treats at your door!

Dinner with the Deans

These monthly dinners hosted by our staff for different parts of the student body give us chance to break bread with you and hear about what's going on in your lives, from courses to life outside 51²è¹Ý. It’s a fun way to connect and get a better sense of how we can serve you.
