At the heart of our Mentorship Program are three vital principles: Community, Trust, and a Network of Care. These aren't just abstract ideas; they're the foundation of everything we do. We're committed to ensuring every student feels truly supported, deeply understood, and fully empowered to thrive throughout their journey.
We actively foster these principles through a unique, two-pronged approach to mentorship:
Personalized Mentorship Meetings
Our program includes regular mentorship meetings, providing dedicated time for students to connect with their mentors. These aren't just check-ins; they're opportunities to build genuine relationships based on trust and mutual respect. Students can openly discuss
Students benefit from having a mentor who has already experienced freshman year as a Carroll Scholar. This firsthand experience allows mentors to offer mentees a unique and nuanced level of support, fostering a relationship where mentees can openly discuss topics like academic progress, personal growth, future aspirations, and more from a relatable perspective. It's in these focused interactions that the bonds of trust and care truly strengthen.
Engaging Community Outings
Beyond individual meetings, we believe in the power of shared experiences. Our community outings bring students and mentors together to explore the vibrant offerings of our city. These excursions—from cultural events to collaborative activities—create a relaxed environment where friendships flourish and a strong sense of community is built. These outings reinforce the idea that you're part of a larger network of care, making your experience at BC richer and more connected.
Community Outings
Community Outings
Our community outings provide incredible opportunities for you to discover the dynamic city of Boston and the beauty of New England, all while connecting with your peers and mentors in a fun, relaxed setting away from Boston College.
These curated excursions give you a taste of local life and culture. Picture yourself on a historic Duck Boat tour, feeling the energy of a live Celtics game, or embracing the autumn charm of apple picking. We handpick a variety of activities to ensure there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Mentorship Meetings
Mentorship Meetings
Our regular mentorship meetings are a cornerstone of the Mentorship Program. These personalized sessions provide a dedicated space for students to connect with experienced mentors who offer guidance, advice, and a listening ear. These relationships are built on trust, allowing students to openly discuss their academic progress, personal challenges, and future aspirations. Mentors provide invaluable insights, helping students navigate coursework, explore career paths, develop crucial life skills, and have someone who can talk them through their collegiate experience. It's in these one-on-one and small group interactions that the principles of trust and care truly flourish.

Students Stories
“After meeting with my mentor, I feel like I can use them as a source, someone I can lean back on or converse with if I have any concerns/issues; or just to talk about college and life in general.”
“There are many ways to do "college" and it takes trying out multiple ways to find the perfect fit, also figuring it out probably won't happen in the first semester and even then each semester will always have it's challenging but that doesn't mean you can't find joy in each one”
“The meetings have helped me not be too stressed with adjusting to BC. My mentor has helped me navigate my path for classes next year and just general advice for my first year of college.”
