The BSUE encourages the pursuit of academic excellence and leadership among its members.

The BSUE makes its vision for a diverse community a reality by doing the following:
1. Informal Weekly Discussion Seminar: Gathering during lunch with student leaders and moderators for informative discussions on various timely topics.
2. Freshman Mentoring Program: Partnering older students with new students, easing transition to O'Dea and high school life.
3. BSUE Community Service Program: Connecting with the community and giving back through various service projects.
4. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Assembly: Planning, coordinating, and hosting O'Dea's assembly honoring Dr. King and his work empowering the human spirit.
