Dear Eagles, Welcome back to Boston College and for our transfer students, welcome to BC! I hope you had a restful break with family and friends and are feeling energized for the start of Spring semester. Today we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., and his significant contributions as the transformational leader of the Civil Rights Movement. He was an advocate for peaceful protest and fought for equality to the betterment and benefit of all people. I hope you will take a bit of time today to reflect on his light and legacy. On this day of service, there are also a variety of events happening in Boston and ways to get involved. Following Martin Luther King's example, we must remain open and support one another through kindness and compassion. When acts are committed that marginalize or demean a group or person, it hurts all of us as a community. If you, or someone you know has been impacted, please do not hesitate to fill out this form. I also continue to have open office hours most Fridays from 3-5 p.m. If you have something you would like to discuss please stop by Maloney 412 and say hello. I truly enjoy meeting with students, and look forward to this every week. There are many exciting programs and events that are planned for you in the coming weeks, and I encourage you to get involved and try something new this term. Below is a sneak preview of some of the highlights. I look forward to seeing you around campus.
