One of the comments on the article:

[QUOTE]Like most things, it’s important to have balance, especially in perspective. A very small percentage of students were interviewed for this story and the comments provided are not reflective of this program. [b]I’m writing as a parent of the Foundations program – who is not a donor to BC, nor an alum, nor connected to the university in any way prior to this program.[/b]

BC, and the Dean of Messina in particular, created a great program substantially benefiting our student in preparing them to excel at BC. It has been thoughtfully structured and provides access to some Chestnut Hill classes that otherwise would be nearly impossible to get because of demand for the class and which are taught by some of BC’s outstanding, most desired professors. It has also exposed our student to developing strong friendships with the first generation students at Messina, where I also witnessed our student ensure their Messina friends felt integrated and welcomed at Chestnut Hill activities to allow for as much of a seamless transition as is possible. It also affords our student access to leading BC professors that mentor them and truly encourage cura personalis. We see a significant change in our student, with deep gratitude to BC and the Foundations program for identifying them as a good candidate and to enabling their development in this way.

The program is in its infancy and like anything new it will continue to improve over time. This article does not provide a well-rounded perspective, and should instead commend BC for developing, deploying, and improving various pathways to a successful BC college experience and outcomes.[/QUOTE][/quote]
