A Note from Adrienne Dumpe
Each year, the Office of Student Involvement
presents sixteen awards to individual
students, student organizations, and
faculty/staff members of the Boston College
community. These awards were previously
known as the Leadership Awards, but have
been renamed the Ever to Excel Awards this
year to better capture the essence of the
awards.
Advisor Workshops
The Advising Center will be hosting advisor
workshops later in the semester, likely late
February/early March. These workshops will
focus on a range of topics including but not
limited to: advising GLBTQ students at BC,
preparing for registration, and Professional
Development Account refresher. Dates are

Conversations With...
As a faculty adviser, please consider
nominating the students you advise or have
gotten to know through your courses. As an
adviser you have a unique lens into a
student's experience at Boston College and
you often serve as a primary mentor to
outstanding students. The Ever to Excel
Awards committee would like to specifically
encourage you to nominate these students.
We will hold two more Conversations With…
programs later in the semester with the
School of Social Work and the Lynch School
of Education. They will present on the
particular graduate programs of study open
to graduating students. THURSDAY,
MARCH 31 in Stokes S139
Nominations can be submitted on MyBC. For
