Samantha Ricci is a graduate of Boston College Class of 2020 from Waltham, Massachusetts. She earned her Bachelors of Arts in History with minors in Medical Humanities and Philosophy. During her time at BC, Samantha worked to support other students and to increase awareness of systemic forms of oppression as a council member for the PULSE Service Learning Program and as a trainer for the Women’s Center’s Bystander Intervention program. In 2018, she additionally received an Advanced Study Grant from BC in order to examine the barriers men who have experienced sexual and intimate partner violence may face in seeking healthcare and social services in the Boston area. Samantha is very grateful for the dedicated professors who supported her growth and encouraged her to explore her interests at BC.
