The Blavin Online Community (BOC)

BOC stands for Blavin Online Community, a portal where students can find resources, organize/attend events, and access the Blavin Slack page! Our goal with BOC is to make it easier for our scholars to find all of the information and resources our program has to offer. BOC offers to build community among scholars.

Current scholars can visit our site here.
