Boston College Calendar 2024 24
As a student at Boston College, I always look forward to the start of a new academic year. With the 2024-24 academic year quickly approaching, it’s time to start planning out my schedule and getting excited for all the events and festivals that are coming our way.
List of Events and Festivals
One of the best things about attending Boston College is the wide variety of events and festivals that take place throughout the academic year. Here are just a few of the highlights that I’m looking forward to:
- Convocation – the official start of the academic year where we welcome new students and faculty to campus
- Homecoming Weekend – a fun-filled weekend of events and activities, including a football game, tailgate, and alumni reunion
- Thanksgiving Break – a much-needed break from classes and a chance to spend time with family and friends
- Christmas Tree Lighting – a festive event where we gather in the quad to light the Christmas tree and sing carols
- Spring Break – a chance to escape the cold weather and enjoy some time off
- Arts Festival – a week-long celebration of art, music, and theater featuring performances and exhibits from students and faculty
- Graduation – the culmination of years of hard work and a chance to celebrate with friends and family
Event and Festival Celebrations
Each event and festival at Boston College has its own unique traditions and celebrations. For example, during Homecoming Weekend, students and alumni come together to tailgate and cheer on the football team. During the Christmas Tree Lighting, we sing carols and enjoy hot cocoa and cookies while admiring the beautiful tree. At the Arts Festival, we can explore student exhibits and attend performances ranging from classical music to improv comedy.
One event that I’m particularly excited for this year is the Convocation ceremony. This is a chance for new students and faculty to be officially welcomed to the Boston College community. It’s a time to reflect on the values and traditions that make our school special and to set intentions for the coming academic year.
