The Boston College Libraries make it possible for senior thesis students to archive their faculty-approved projects in eScholarship@BC, the Libraries\u2019 digital repository.\u00a0 Archiving the work in the repository affirms that Boston College takes seriously the endeavors of seniors as aspiring scholars.\u00a0 The archive can be helpful to academic departments in documenting the accomplishments of their students, and in providing references and examples to future thesis writers. Faculty encouragement of senior thesis writers to place their work in the repository should add incentive for students to take their projects seriously and to adhere to the standards of proper scholarship. \u00a0Students who undertake thesis projects, knowing that their work will be available to the wider scholarly community, could be impelled to higher levels of academic achievement. \u00a0Additionally, students who give access to their theses beyond Boston College can include the permanent web address in their r\u00e9sum\u00e9s for potential employers. Academic departments and their students can thus benefit from having theses archived in eScholarship@BC.<\/p>\n![\"Students](\"https:\/\/library.bc.edu\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/040213CC001v1.jpg\")
