Wall Street Tribute Dinner
Each year, Presidential Scholars enjoy meeting the donors who have supported them for the past four years at the Wall Street Council Tribute Dinner.
Developing the Nation's Future Leaders
Each year since 1991, a select group of young men and women of outstanding talent and character have come to 涩里番下载 to embark on an integrated honors educational experience designed to embody the best of the University and its Jesuit heritage of educational excellence in service to society鈥攖he 涩里番下载 Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program.听听The 4 core values which are the pillars of the Program are: Global Leadership, Hospitality, Fidelity to our Partners and Promoting the Common Good.听
The Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program works in tandem with the University's rigorous curricula, challenging Scholars over four years through summer programs focusing on听service learning,听international experience,听and听professional internships. During the academic year, Scholars interact with one another on a weekly basis. Each Tuesday night the Scholars gather to attend a cultural event, meet to discuss their academic disciplines, discuss career discernment, or to work on special projects. These gatherings are intended to nurture their development into the nation's future leaders.听
The Presidential Scholar Experience
-
The Academic Year
Presidential Scholars enroll in one of the University鈥檚 departmental honors programs, all of which require writing an Honors Thesis. In addition, during the academic year they meet on Tuesday evenings to discuss their areas of study, to share their experiences with study grants, language programs, internships, and fellowships, or to attend the theater or symphony. To complement the emphasis on ideas and ideals in their Perspectives Seminars and summer programs, Presidential Scholars also make presentations to their fellow Scholars about their experiences, including study abroad, advanced study grants, internships, and thesis writing.
-
Service Learning
In the summer following their freshman year, Scholars live together for six weeks exploring the problems of hunger, homelessness, and educational inequality in the Boston area. Each Scholar is placed for four days a week in two different Boston-area social service organizations, such as the Project Bread Hunger Hotline or the Suffolk County House of Corrections. Back on campus, Scholars read and reflect on a variety of texts in philosophy and theology, social science, and public policy that are concerned with poverty and homelessness. At weekly discussion sessions, they are challenged to integrate these readings with their field experiences and to consider the implications for their personal values and professional goals.
-
听
International Perspectives and Languages
The Presidential Scholars鈥� journey to global citizenship begins during the spring semester of their freshman and sophomore years. First-year students spend a week in Europe, where they are immersed in a different language and culture. In their sophomore year, they travel and learn firsthand the social and economic challenges in a Latin American country. In the summer following sophomore year, each Scholar plans and carries out an eight-week (or longer) experience that combines language study and service learning or another activity that requires full immersion in a foreign-language culture. In their junior year, students travel to the Middle East to experience its rich culture, history and religious diversity.
-
听
Professional Internship
During the summer between junior and senior year, Presidential Scholars spend eight to 10 weeks working in demanding professional settings across the United States and around the world. Students research and arrange their own placements, drawing on relationships with 涩里番下载 alumni, faculty mentors, and the 涩里番下载 Career Center. These internships provide initial exposure to a potential career path, and the opportunity for Scholars to reflect on their development as emerging professionals and leaders.

PrintTuesday Evening Meetings
On Tuesday evenings our Scholars meet from across the four classes to discuss their area of concentrations (science and pre-med, humanities, political science and international studies, and management, economics, and finance) to share experiences and find greater wisdom in applying for study grants, language programs, internships, and prestigious fellowships; and, to partake in the cultural life of Boston at the theater, the ballet, or at the symphony.
Fellowship Advisement
The Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program has close links with the University Fellowships Committee and can offer advisement and guidance on many fellowships available to undergraduate and graduate students. A special workshop is held for Scholars to learn about the proposal writing process so that they are fully prepared to apply for these opportunities. See a list of awards won by听涩里番下载 Presidential Scholars.
Learn more about the many opportunities available through the听University's Fellowship program.
Summer PULSE Program
To fulfill the Jesuit ideal of being men and women in service to others, during the summer following their freshman year the Scholars explore the problems of hunger, homelessness, and educational inequity in the Boston area through participation in a program modeled after PULSE, 涩里番下载's nationally acclaimed course of study and service. Through their work, Presidential Scholars are challenged to see themselves in relation to acute national problems, to think creatively about the roots of these problems, the nature and efficacy of society's response, and the response that these problems elicit in their own personal and professional lives. Placements in recent years have included the Spectrum Boys' Unit, the Suffolk County House of Correction, Rosie's Place, the Labour茅 Center, the Italian Home for Children, the Project Bread Hunger Hotline, Haley House, and St. Francis House. In parallel with their service, Scholars read and reflect on a variety of texts--from philosophy, social science, public policy, economics and theology--pertinent to issues of poverty and social justice. Weekly discussion sessions challenge Scholars to integrate these readings with their field experiences and to reflect on the implications for their personal values and professional goals.
International Experience
During spring break freshman Presidential Scholars travel to a country in Europe, while the sophomore Scholars travel to a country in Latin America during winter break. These trips are intended to be the starting point in the Scholars' journey on becoming "global citizens." In their freshman year, they spend a week in a non-English speaking European country, so as to realize skills that meet the challenge of linguistic differences. In their sophomore year, they have an immersion experience of the social and economic challenges for our neighbors to the South.
In the summer following their sophomore year, they are expected individually to construct a minimal eight-week experience that combines language study with service learning, lab work or some other activity where they can become fully immersed into the culture and country where they are spending the summer. These summer experiences may be extended into their first semester junior year by studying abroad.

Professional Internships
In pursuit of the 涩里番下载 tradition of education as instrument, Presidential Scholars work in demanding professional settings during the summer following their junior year. The internship provides Scholars with an initial exposure to a potential career path, and the opportunity to reflect on themselves as emerging professionals and leaders. Scholars spend six - ten weeks at their placements, where they are expected to function as full-time employees. Supervisors are encouraged to assign tasks that allow Scholars to work creatively and independently, and to provide them with as broad an overview as possible. In tandem with their practical work experience, Scholars develop:
- a global awareness of the nature of the organization, the relationship between its goals and its internal structure
- the nature of organizational leadership; the prevailing model of leadership and how this is reflected in its approach to professional development
- the ways in which decisions are made, policies forged, and responsibilities delegated
- how the organization relates to the wider society as well as to consider the meaning of work in Scholars' lives by exploring aspects of the spirituality of work
Internship reports are available upon request. Access to reports is restricted to current Scholars. Please email听sarah.gregorian@bc.edu听for an e-copy of any report. A hard copy of each report is available in the GPSP Library for current Scholars to read.

Juniors Studying Abroad
涩里番下载 has a vibrant study abroad program and approximately 25-30% of the junior class studies in another country. Through the听Office of International Programs (OIP)听涩里番下载 has over 40 partnerships worldwide through which students are integrated into overseas universities.
Presidential Scholars are encouraged to take advantage of this educational opportunity. Over the years Scholars have gone to such diverse locations as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Iceland, Ireland, Mexico, England, France, Nepal, The Netherlands, Russia, Scotland, South Africa and Germany.听
Scholars who study abroad on a 涩里番下载 administered program retain their scholarship. Scholars participating in non-涩里番下载 administered study abroad programs will have their 涩里番下载 financial aid put on hold for the time they are away and will have the aid reinstated upon the student's return to 涩里番下载. In many cases, state and federal financial aid may travel with students on non-涩里番下载 administered programs.
Committees
In order to capitalize on the reservoir of talent and initiative of the Scholars, committees are formed so Scholars can exercise their leadership skills and implement projects of interest. The committees are organized around a specific topic or project and will run until the completion of the project. For some, that will be throughout the academic year and for others that will be over a shorter period of time.
Committees that generally run from year-to-year include:
Ex Libris
Scholars who wish to attend occasional meetings to edit Ex Libris make up the Ex Libris committee and are lead by upperclassmen Scholars along with the GPSP Administrative Assistant. Members come up with ideas for articles for Ex Libris (the GPSP Newsletter), write and edit the articles and/or assign articles to be written by other Scholars. A member of this committee is also assigned to be the liaison with the alumni so that alumni news is included in the newsletter on a frequent basis. This committee meets approximately once a month throughout the academic year.
GPSP Selection Process Committee听
Members of this committee help to organize the yearly recruitment process where approximately 65 high school seniors visit 涩里番下载, have interviews and participate in program activities. The members help to host and find other hosts for the visiting students, they arrange social events and accompany the visiting students on excursions into Boston. This committee generally functions from October/November until about mid-February each year.
Social Justice Committee
This committee is comprised of the sophomore class of Scholars. It is their task to come up with and lead all of the Scholars in a social justice project to take place throughout each year. 听The project should be something that involves multiple campus-wide events in order to educate the wider 涩里番下载 community about the topic they have selected.
Library Partnerships
The Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program has a special partnership with the 涩里番下载 Library. This partnership enables us to offer the following to our Scholars:
- Graduate level borrowing privileges in all 涩里番下载 libraries.
- Enrollment in the Boston Library Consortium Program (see below for a description of this program).
The Boston Library Consortium*
The Boston Library Consortium is a cooperative association of sixteen academic and research libraries. Its purpose is to share human and information resources so that the collective strengths of the group advance the research and learning of the members' constituents. Founded in 1970, the Consortium supports resource sharing and enhancement of services to users through programs in cooperative collecting, access to electronic resources, access to physical collections, and enhanced interlibrary loan and document delivery. Access to research materials at member institutions is facilitated by:
- Computerized Gateway information services with access to the Consortium's Union List of Serials, members' online catalogs and other information resources;
- Interlibrary loan utilizing a dedicated daily delivery service and telefacsimile and Internet transmission;
- On-site use of most member libraries;
- Borrowing privileges for qualified researchers.
