Boston College Alumni

Gifts from the Jesuit community have helped establish the Jesuit Institute and the Center for Ignatian Spirituality at Boston College. The Institute sponsors personal research, academic exchange, and collective inquiry about the issues that emerge at the intersection of faith and culture. The Center helps members of the University community to understand and implement Jesuit/Ignatian traditions and promotes conversation among other religious traditions represented at Boston College.

Boston College Alumni Social Media Policy

We've established the following Rules of Etiquette to ensure that the Boston College Alumni page provides a positive experience for all participants. These basic rules will be enforced by the social media manager and the BC Alumni Association staff. To report a concern or possible violation of the rules, please contact the social media manager at [email protected].

Be Respectful

You should feel free to discuss topics and disagree with one another, but please be respectful of others' opinions. Sexist, racist and other discriminatory or derogatory comments or images are not permitted. In addition, do not post content that defames, abuses, or threatens others. Such communications will be removed at the moderators' discretion.

Keep it Clean

Avoid offensive, obscene, or sexually explicit language and photos. Such posts will be removed. Also, do not post content that advocates illegal activity or that infringes another's intellectual property, including, but not limited to, copyrights or trademarks.

Stay on Topic

Some discussions may drift from the stated subject of that particular forum. However, to ensure maximum benefit for everyone, we encourage you to keep your postings as relevant to the subject as possible. Comments that are unrelated to the original post may be deleted. Posts including but not limited to commercial or promotional material that are not related to Boston College may be deleted, and the users who posted them removed or banned.

Don't Spam

Spam includes sending identical and irrelevant or unsolicited submissions to many different users, and includes misrepresenting the source of anything you post. Please refrain from posting unsolicited advertisements that do not pertain directly to the intended use and purpose of that particular discussion forum.

Thank you for following these Rules of Etiquette. We reserve the right to amend or change the Rules of Etiquette at any time and encourage you to periodically review these guidelines to ensure you are in compliance.

Enforcement of the Rules of Etiquette: We will investigate all complaints of possible violations of the Rules of Etiquette that come to our attention, and we will take any action that we believe is appropriate, including, but not limited to issuing warnings, removing content, and banning or removing accounts.
