Go Eagles!

Hello Everyone,

This blog is designed to help you get an inside look at what life is like at Boston College. There is so much for you to learn about BC that takes you past the admissions statistics and truly gives you a look at what life is like at Boston College.

First, I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Scott Landay and I am a Sophomore in the Carroll School of Management, concentrating in Accounting and Finance with a minor in Philosophy. I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. Boston College is now the place I love to call my new home.

A few things that I am involved in here on campus are the PULSE Program and Eagle Ops. I took PULSE as a freshman. PULSE is a year long class that covers 12 credits (counting as 2 classes a semester), fulfilling the entire Theology and Philosophy core. The thing that makes PULSE unique is that it combines these two disciplines with a focus on social responsibility. As part of the class, you spend 10-12 hours serving at one of 53 different service placements in Boston. I did my placement at The Pine Street Inn, Boston's largest homeless shelter. I was able to take what I learned in the classroom and further that throughout my year of service. My PULSE experience is something that I will take with me for the rest of my life. This year, I am serving as a PULSE Council member in which I am advising this year's PULSE students throughout their service learning experience. Eagle Ops is a new program in which a small team of volunteers works closely with the Boston College Athletic Department to promote BC Athletics as well as helping to enhance the atmosphere at all BC sporting events.

Football season is well underway and so far we have a 4-1 record as we try to make it back to the ACC Championship Game. This weekend our hockey season began again as we defend our national championship year in which we beat Wisconsin 5-4.

Look out for more about life at BC and within the Carroll School of Management!

GO EAGLES!
