After the closures of colleges across the country, Boston College remained open in a diminished capacity to provide housing and refuge for students unable to return home to shelter in place. In this email, President of the School Father Leahy outlines the steps taken to ensure safety. He also speaks towards the future Fall 2020 semester and how Boston College can best ensure a safe climate atmosphere.
