Listservs
The Graduate Programs Office has set up program listservs to keep students apprised of key information pertinent to their individual programs. All students will be subscribed, using their BC email address, to the appropriate listserv at the start of their first semester. Listservs are used to communicate academic announcements, career resource information, speakers and events, volunteer opportunities, as well as GSOM student social activities. To ensure your subscription to the listserv, it is your responsibility to verify that your email address is not suppressed in the Privacy Preferences section of your Agora account. Our ability to communicate quickly and accurately with students is greatly enhanced with the listservs. Please ensure that you release your email address in your privacy preferences as soon as possible. If you find that you are not receiving emails, please contact The Graduate Programs Office to ensure your information is accurate.Ìý
