Greetings and welcome to the fall semester. We hope that you enjoyed a
wonderful summer and were able to find time to enjoy the warm weather. With
classes already underway, the BC campus comes alive with new and exciting
exhibits and learning opportunities. As a new or returning preceptor we hope
that you have a positive experience and find your practice invigorated by the
role of mentor.
New for this Fall we have been able to offer a weekly drawing to attend a BC
Football home game. Winners are chosen each week, please respond to the
weekly email if you would like to be included. Preceptors also have access to
Boston College libraries, cultural events and museum exhibits. Currently, the
McMullen Museum’s exhibit entitled “John La Farge and the Recovery of the
Sacred” profiled in the Wall Street Journal is exhibiting through December 13th.
