Part of what sets Boston College apart from other Division I athletics institutions is its Jesuit ideals. The concept of service to others is something ingrained in the university's fabric and it's something that is woven into each program's student-athletes when they suit up with the familiar maroon and gold.
This month, members of the Eagles athletics programs put forth that ideal, traveling to Louisiana to take part in the Devlin Student-Athletes for Education and Leadership Development Program. Founded in 2006 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's path of destruction in the Gulf Coast, it was implemented at Boston College in 2008 following its instant success as part of Tulane University.
