A Commitment to Inclusion

What makes Boston College Law School so special? It is an unbelievably supportive community, where faculty, administrators, students, and alumni come together to create a vibrant academic and social environment.

While this community appreciates the many aspects of diversity, that is only one part of the equation. We believe that a genuine appreciation of diversity is measured by the inclusiveness of a community--and the opportunities that inclusion offers. Are your opinions appreciated? Are there opportunities to participate in various events and programs? Are you encouraged to engage and grow academically, personally and professionally? These are the expectations for the Boston College Law School community.

BC Law recognizes the diverse demographics presented in today鈥檚 society, the need to reflect such diversity within our law school community as well as our responsibility to support diversity within the legal profession. We strive to embrace and celebrate the similarities and differences our students bring to our campus, including our LAHANAS community [Lambda, African, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and South Asian], those with disabilities and first generation students, among others. Students are encouraged to share their views, lived experiences and interests, and lifestyles both inside and outside the classroom.

We believe that our diverse community represents some of the strongest and most talented groups of students in higher education. We are also proud of our committed alumni, whose efforts to 鈥済ive back鈥� are greatly appreciated. Alumni have stated that this desire to mentor sooner vs. later is influenced by their appreciation of the efforts and initiatives BC Law provides to help with the transition to law school and into the legal profession.

At our annual LAHANAS retreat, offered before the official matriculation to BC Law, many strong, lifelong relationships are formed. This generous alumni sponsored event provides newly admitted LAHANAS identifying students and all who seek community with them the opportunity to engage with upper-classmen and faculty who welcome them to the law school community. There is something special about identifying support systems, learning about other cultures and celebrating your unique and shared identities. Our inclusive community is based upon the passion of our faculty and administrators who are committed to nurturing the various perspectives, values and talents of true global citizens. We look forward聽 the opportunity to share rich and vast experiences with you during your tenure here.
