About The Gavel

The Gavel is the progressive student voice of Boston College. Since 2009 we have been committed to imaginative, holistic and insightful student journalism.

What we cover

We report on campus life and governance, Boston and Allston-Brighton, national issues that affect students, sports and culture. We also publish opinion columns, editorials and letters from the BC community. Opinion pieces are clearly labeled and kept separate from news reporting.

Who we are

The Gavel is written, edited and photographed by Boston College students. Bylines on every article show who reported it.
