Belonging at the Carroll School
Belonging at the Carroll School
At the Carroll School of Management, we embrace and celebrate the differences in our close-knit community—differences of background, identity, perspective, and ideas. We view these differences as markers of both ethical leadership and sound management practice. Grounded in this belief as well as Boston College's Jesuit tradition, the Carroll School is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all students, faculty, and staff feel welcomed, accepted, and supported.
