Kilachand Co-Curricular Events

Kilachand co-curricular events deepen students’ academic inquiries through engaging with experts in diverse fields, exploring museums and public offerings around Boston, and participating in community service. Collectively, these experiences provide insight into innovative research and career paths, and enrich our community’s interdisciplinary conversations about today’s complex problems and opportunities, from the scientific and technological to the creative and humanitarian.
