Rising Together

By

I’m a BC Super Fan, and I’ll always do whatever I can to lift it up. It starts with opportunity—something I received because of the generosity of a BC alum—and it’s how we all can ensure that the Heights is welcoming to everyone, no matter where they come from.

Education is a Gift

By

As immigrants, my parents raised me to believe that I should earn what I need in life and be responsible for myself. They also understood that education is absolutely indispensable to achieving those goals. That’s why I consider education to be the most important gift that one can give another. I know this from experience: Without financial aid, Boston College wouldn’t have been affordable for me.

When Leadership and Philanthropy Meet

When I joined Boston College nearly two years ago, I approached my service as dean with my whole heart, trust in God, and an intent to listen and learn. Since then, I have been inspired by the everyday interactions I have witnessed. To me, this is what makes our University so special.
