Boston College partners with students across campus to showcase life on the Heights. Members of the Student Admission Program, leaders of student organizations, volunteers from Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ departments, and student-athletesÌýroutinely "take over" the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Instagram account and create for the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ YouTube channel. Not only do they show what it's like to be a student at Boston College, but answer viewers' questions, highlight upcoming events, and give inside information about being an Eagle.
Other Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ students create videos, compiling life on the Heights in one single format. These may include a typical school day, weekendÌýexecrations to Boston, study abroad journeys, retreat participation, and internship opportunities.Ìý

The University Archives strive to document life at Boston College by collecting materials created by students, faculty, administrators, and departmental staff during the course of their time on the Heights. The records can provide researchers with answers to specific questions or help them to understand broad social and cultural issues.
A University record is recorded information that is documented in a fixed format - whether that is paper, audiovisual, or digital - that is prepared, owned, used, in the possession of, or retained by administrators, faculty acting in administrative capacities, and staff of university units in the performance of an official function. University publications are materials created and disseminated to a wider audience by a Boston College school or college; an administrative unit such as a department, center, institute, museum, or program; faculty and staff acting in an administrative capacity; or a Boston College affiliate such as alumni and student organizations. Although traditionally associated with books and newspapers, common campus publications include annual reports, brochures, bulletins, catalogs, course descriptions, exhibition catalogs, histories, journals, magazines, newsletters, programs, proceedings, and websites.
To opt out of providing content to the University Archives, email social@bc.edu.
