If you’re one of the more than 215,000 @BostonCollege alumni worldwide, meet your BC Alumni Association Board of Directors! Christina (Galmiche) Sliwa ’93, MBA’00, the new BCAA Board President (center of photo), recently took time to talk with Boston College Magazine about her experience at the Heights and her new role. Christina's hopes for her BC alumni family? "I want every alum to feel what I have felt serving on the board these past four years, discovering pieces of the University’s mission I hadn’t fully understood before... That spirit of being men and women for others does not end when you leave campus. In many ways, this is when it truly begins."

On the eve of @BostonCollege’s Inauguration of its 26th president, John T. Butler, S.J., some of our BC family kicked off the celebration with a gathering to toast what propels the Heights forward: our commitment to our community and to our mission.  As Travis Rhodes ‘93, Chair of the Board of Trustees, pointed out, "Inaugurations mark a beginning—and beginnings call for people willing to roll up their sleeves, lend their voices, and help shape the future.”  We’re so excited to see what the future holds for our Eagles, at the Heights and around the world!
