    Foreword the Mission of Boston College

    2 Foreword & Mission Foreword The newly established Office of Institutional Research is pleased to present the Boston College Fact Book, 2004-2005, the 32nd edition of this publication. This book is intended as a single, readily accessible, consistent source of information about the Boston College Community, its resources, and its operations. It is a summary of institutional data gathered from many areas of the University, compiled to capture the 2003-2004 Fiscal and Academic Year, and the fall semester of the 2004-2005 Academic Year. Where appropriate, multiple years of data are provided for historical perspective. It is not all encompassing but will provide pertinent facts and figures valuable to administrators, faculty, staff, and students alike. Sincere appreciation is extended to all contributors who offered their time and expertise to maintain the greatest possible accuracy and standardization of their data. We are indebted to IR staff members Jessica Greene, Carol Pepin, and Margaret Ryan for their assistance and input. A special thank you is also extended to graduate students, Jackie Gould and Thomas McGuinness, for their diligence and attention to detail. A concerted effort is made to make this publication an increasingly more useful reference, at the same time enhancing your understanding of the scope and progress of the University. We welcome your comments and suggestions toward that goal. This fact book, as well as those from previous years, is available in its entirety at http://www.bc.edu/factbook. Christine Buscemi Kelli J.
