Dear Eagles,

I hope you had a restful fall break and are ready for the exciting week ahead! 

This week, BCaring Homecoming Week will bring students, faculty, staff, and alumni together for events and activities celebrating community, connection, and BC pride as we look forward to Saturday’s home football game.

It also marks a very special moment in Boston College’s history as we celebrate the Inauguration of John T. Butler, S.J., as our 26th president. Events will run from October 15–17, featuring the Inauguration Ceremony on Friday at 3:00 p.m., followed by the Community Celebration featuring free food, live performances, light displays, and more! You are invited to join the entire Boston College community in welcoming Fr. Jack Butler and launching this new chapter in our university's story. I hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Dr. Corey Kelly
