The 2026 Boston College Summit—an annual event dedicated to topics of identity, action, and leadership—will host three faculty speakers, including Belle Liang, and introduce a newly condensed program this January.

The Boston College Summit welcomed Shawna Cooper Whitehead, vice president for student affairs at BC, for a conversation about her background and current position on Nov. 6.

Rachel Scott, ABC News' senior congressional correspondent, will deliver the keynote at Boston College's Summit conference on Feb. 1. Formerly called the Women’s Summit, the event, hosted by the Women’s Center, will emphasize intersectionality and self-awareness.
