See your colleagues in person at the BCARF meetings.

The Boston College Association of Retired Faculty Programs, Topical Seminars, and Book Club meetings (see schedule below) will be held at 300 Hammond Pond Parkway in Newton.  This is also the location of the BCARF office.  The office is the first office on your left as you enter the building.  Faculty are welcome to use the resources there.  

A light buffet lunch will be served before both the the Program Meetings and the Topical Seminar Meetings. Lunch begins at 11:30 AM, followed by the meeting at noon.

Research Grants Deadline:

For the 2024-25 fiscal year, we will have two rounds of retired faculty research grant awards. The submission deadlines are  June 15 and October 15. The BCARF Grants Committee will award up to two grants, each with a proposed budget between $100 and $1,000. 

Research proposals should follow the guidelines on the BCARF website (scroll down to "Faculty Grants"). Proposals should be submitted electronically to me at robert.taggart@gregorybgallagher.com.

Faculty Activities:

We have added a new section where we can highlight retired faculty activities.  These might include books, research papers, community service, volunteer work, or any other items that you think might be of interest to your retired faculty colleagues.  If you wish to have an item posted, send the information to Bob Taggart at robert.taggart@gregorybgallagher.com

You can access this new section by selecting the menu called "Activities" at the top of this page.
