I’m considering switching to a different major for better opportunities

I'm considering switching to a different major for better opportunities, but I'm not really sure since it will be more difficult, and I like what I'm doing now. I don't want to miss good opportunities just because they're challenging, but I also don't want to spend so much time in classes I don't love. How do I figure this out?

This is a thing you should talk to a bunch of different people about, because it’s helpful to have a variety of perspectives on big decisions. Education, particularly at BC, is not about making you a better job candidate. It’s about making you a better person. My advice is: major in something you love and try to get some practical experience in work you might like. Your second employer is unlikely to care about your major or your GPA, only what problems you can help them solve.

How do you advise cultivating a culture of civic engagement here at BC?

With every passing year, I realize how privileged I am to have the right to vote - not just in big elections but in smaller ones, too. How do you advise I work to cultivate a culture of civic engagement here at BC?

Student Affairs cultivates events around voting and civic engagment, including some later this week: https://bit.ly/3Uz8rHN I encourage you to keep voting, encouraging your friends and family to vote, and maybe dip your toe into a Political Science class or two!

Is Jeffrey Epstein a bad Halloween costume?

I think if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. While Halloween celebrations have roots in Celtic festivals, pagan traditions, and even the Catholic Church (bit.ly/oct31celebrate), today’s festivities revolve around pumpkin carving and candy eating. There’s lots of fun to be had, but never at the expense of folks who are marginalized, victimized, or would be otherwise harmed.
