The Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society brings together all members of our campus community to address society’s most challenging problems, particularly in the areas of energy, health, and the environment. Through interdisciplinary scholarship, initiatives, courses, and events, we enhance Boston College’s rich history of working across disciplines to develop new knowledge that makes a real-world impact.

Are you interested in global sustainability, community-driven projects, or making a real-world impact? Engineers Without Borders – Boston College (EWB-BC) is looking for new members-- and you don’t need to be an engineering student to join! EWB welcomes students from all disciplines, offering opportunities to contribute through project management, research, fundraising, communications, and more.

Join us for an info session and open house to learn more! The incoming EWB-BC co-presidents will kick things off with a 15-20 minute presentation, sharing key takeaways from the recent national EWB conference and what it means for the future of our chapter. Afterward, stick around for an informal meet-and-greet-- a great chance to ask questions, connect with current members, and explore the many ways to get involved.
