May 1st has come and gone. Congratulations to everyone who will be enrolling in the Class of 2017 at Boston College. Welcome to the Heights!

If you visited our campus in the Spring or Summer of 2012, you inevitably heard about the construction of Stokes Hall. We thought you'd like to see what the finished Stokes Hall and lawn look like now!

Boston College sophomore Maria Asdourian, a biology major whose research interests focus on the neurobiology of Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis, has been awarded a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, which is considered the premier undergraduate award in the sciences. She explains her research in this short video.

Update: The second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings is in police custody. Thank you for your patience and your well wishes. We hope to see some of you on Sunday!

Thank you for your continued patience while our community has faced an unprecedented situation. The "shelter in place" ban has been lifted for Boston and the surrounding communities, including Boston College. Accordingly, Boston College will proceed with the Admitted Eagle Day program this Sunday, April 21st.

Please keep in mind that while the "shelter in place" ban has been lifted, suspect #2 in the Boston Marathon bombings still remains at large. The search for the suspect continues to evolve at the time of this posting. We recognize and respect that some visitors may still have concerns about traveling to campus. If you wish to cancel your registration, please go to http://www.bc.edu/content/bc/admission/undergrad/s-admittedeagleday/cancel.html.

Again, we thank you for your patience during this difficult time. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

### - Boston College - Undergraduate Admission

We have received several inquiries regarding our Admitted Eagle Day program scheduled for this Sunday. At this point, we are taking everything on an hourly basis. We are hopeful that the emergency situation in Boston will be resolved soon and that we can hold our Admitted Eagle Day as scheduled. That being said, the safety of our students, staff, faculty and admitted students is our top priority. We will continue to monitor the news and send updates about our programming when we have new information. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Boston College students gather tonight for a mass of healing and hope. Our thoughts are with all of those affected by yesterday's tragedy at the Boston Marathon.
