Members of a student sexual health group at Boston College have been told to stop handing out condoms. The group, Boston College Students for Sexual Health, was formed in 2009 after the student body voted affirmatively on a referendum measure that called for better access to sexual health resources on campus.

From there a committee was formed, made up of Clements ’14, Franco ’15, Student Union President Todd Kirkland ’13, F-Board chair and Assistant Treasurer Nathan Israel ’14, […]
The Lydian String Quartet paid homage to the late Mary Ruth Ray (MUS) at their concert held in Slosberg Auditorium last Saturday night. Ray passed away this winter from an on-going battle with cancer, but will forever leave behind a rich legacy as an influential faculty member, acclaimed violist and an original founding member of […]
