BC Safe vs One New Thing

BC Safe is the official safety app of Boston College. It is the only app that integrates with Boston College's safety and security systems. Boston College Public Safety has worked to develop a unique app that provides students, faculty and staff with added safety on the Boston College campus. The app will send you important safety alerts and provide instant access to campus safety resources. BC Safe features include: - How to Respond: Campus emergency documentation that can prepare you for disasters or emergencies. This can be accessed even when users aren’t connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data. - Maps & Transport: Navigate around the Boston College area. - Friend Walk: Send your location to a friend through email or SMS on your device. Once the friend accepts the Friend Walk request, the user picks their destination and their friend tracks their location in real time; they can keep an eye on them to make sure they make it safely to their destination. - Support Resources: Access support resources in one convenient app to enjoy a successful experience at Boston College. - Emergency Contacts: Contact the correct services for the Boston College area in case of an emergency or a non-emergency concern - Crime Prevention & Reporting: Multiple ways to report a safety/security concern directly to Boston College security. - Check-In: Enables Boston College to send a mass notification to any or all users of the app requesting for them to "check-in" to communicate that they are OK or require help in an emergency situation. - Safety Notifications: Receive instant notifications and instructions from Boston College safety when on-campus emergencies occur.

For the days you don't want to end having only scrolled. Each day, One New Thing lays out three things worth reading or watching, drawn from a hand-curated catalog that runs from cosmology to film to mathematics. You choose one, and you can change your mind until you've read it. A new set arrives tomorrow. Then you write, as much or as little as you like, in your own words, on what you made of it. Pasting is turned off, on purpose: an entry you pasted would tell you nothing when you read it back in December. Over a year, those entries become a record of what you actually learned. • Three hand-picked options a day, from the subjects you choose, at the length you choose • A private Journal you can search, filter, and reread • Suggest a piece you loved; if it's accepted, it joins the catalogue • An optional Face ID lock, so your Journal stays yours • On iPhone and iPad, upright or sideways, and on Mac No feed to scroll. No notifications calling you back. Your reflections are private to your account.
