Boston College Athletics
Welcome Back, Eagles!

BC Athletics hosted its annual Welcome Back Picnic Monday afternoon
For some it's a time to catch up with old friends, for others a time to meet new teammates. And for one more, it's the first time to meet everyone.Â

Boston College Athletics hosted its annual Welcome Back Picnic on Monday afternoon, giving the Eagles' 700-plus student-athletes – plus all coaches and staff – a chance to reconvene as classes began at The Heights earlier in the day. | PHOTO GALLERY
Â
For new William V. Campbell Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond, it was his first time in front of all the Eagles since his start in June.
Â
In the corner of Alumni Stadium – just feet from the statue of one of the department's most famous alumni – Jarmond welcomed everyone back to BC, reminded the Eagles to be smart and ask for help if needed, and above all, go out, have fun and win.
Â
After Jarmond's group selfie, the Eagles were off to enjoy the build-your-own-burrito bar, catch up with teammates and friends, or compete in some stadium-sized games like Giant Jenga, Spikeball, Ladderball, Cornhole. Not to mention, there was a giant bounce house and a football tackling inflatable for a different type of workout.
Â
With four teams already into their schedules – field hockey, men's and women's soccer, volleyball – and one more getting going this week (football), the sports season is officially upon The Heights … especially now that everyone is back.
