We want our students to consider the human impact as they are developing new technologies. That’s a new way of looking at engineering, and that’s what we’re doing here at BC.”
Gaudette met with experts in cell regeneration, plant biology, and other fields, and led his lab in countless experiments to find or develop a material that mimics the heart’s system of vessels. But, like the best “eureka” stories, the answer came not in the lab but the lunchroom, while chatting with one of his graduate research assistants.
“He had a spinach salad, and all of a sudden we both looked at this spinach leaf and we saw the branching pattern, the vein that comes off the leaf just like the aorta on a heart,” Gaudette says, a note of wonder still in his voice. “We never said ‘Wow, this is it!’ but we said ‘Let’s give it a shot!’” Back in the lab, Gaudette and his team put their hypothesis to the test: Could they decellularize the spinach? Yes. Could they grow cells on the frame? Yes. Could they generate electrical activity similar to a beating heart? Yes—and that is when he knew he’d found something truly exciting.

1968 BC yearbook
For David, his first encounter with the value of a real education began in 1964 at Boston College’s beloved and bygone Dustbowl. Some 215 miles away from his home in Upstate New York and feeling homesick at the Heights, David sought community in the form of the student involvement fair. He signed up for the Gold Key Society and ROTC, but the group he was really interested in, University Chorale, was conspicuously absent.
Later, he inquired about joining the group, and they responded with prompt instructions—audition at the top floor of Lyons Hall, four o’clock sharp. When he arrived, there sat Dr. C. Alexander Peloquin, University Chorale conductor, at the piano. Here was a man who composed the first Roman Catholic Mass sung in English; collaborated with poet, writer, and Trappist monk Thomas Merton; and would eventually direct the choir for a papal Mass attended by 1.5 million people.
Not that David had the slightest clue about any of that, but he was a keen, inquisitive, and talented enough auditioner to be offered on the spot a place in the illustrious group. From there, he never looked back, taking music courses under Peloquin, performing with the group in New York City (“a seminal moment,” he notes), and falling in love with this art he wouldn’t have encountered otherwise.

Held by Allison Curseen, English Department, Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences
BC knows the importance of a well-rounded education. In establishing the Cooney Family Assistant Professorship, we hoped to encourage passion for the subjects that will help students understand each other and themselves, to communicate effectively, and to approach the world with a variety of perspectives.”
—BOB AND LORETTA COONEY
Professor Curseen takes an interdisciplinary approach to African American and 19th-century American literature and culture, often incorporating performance studies, child studies, and media other than literature.

Being a part of the GPSP was a defining part of my undergraduate experience, but I realize only now how important the program was for shaping my post-graduate life. The GPSP provided me with the tools and experiences to see the world from a holistic viewpoint. As a current theatre educator, I find myself drawing on these experiences daily to best support my students and provide them with the same kind of ‘education of the whole person’ provided to me by the GPSP.”

Whether it was traveling to Venice and Costa Rica with our class or getting the opportunity to work in Switzerland for the summer, the experiences GPSP gave me were instrumental to my development and overall experience at Boston College. I met some of my best friends through the program, and the memories we have together are ones I will never forget. I cannot speak highly enough of GPSP, and I look forward to giving back to the program and helping other students just as several generous alumni did for me.”

Photographs of Lienau’s family adorn her desk and bookshelves.
Lienau and her husband, Aziz Rana, met as undergraduates on their very first day at Harvard. They’ve been together ever since. Today, Rana is the J. Donald Monan, S.J., Professor in Law. They acquired this petite vase on an urban hike while on their honeymoon in Turkey nearly 20 years ago.
This delicate encased ship is constructed out of sterling silver strands, a traditional art form in Indonesia, where Lienau grew up. “My parents gave this to me when I earned my PhD,” she says, “reminding me that in life, we are always on a journey.”
The hearty pothos plant is native to Indonesia, Lienau’s home country. Propagated cuttings decorate her office shelves and tables—and nooks throughout the buildings on campus. “I love plants, so I have a few in my office and all over the Law School. The students like them—just a little life and a little greenery. I stick them everywhere, even my BC Law mug!” she says.
The first conference Lienau attended as a junior law professor was held at the historic Hotel Boulderado in Boulder, Colorado. Since 1908, Hotel Boulderado has welcomed weary travelers and celebrities such as Robert Frost, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong. “I keep this coaster as a reminder of the path of my career, as well as my friends and colleagues from that conference,” she says.

The hearty pothos plant is native to Indonesia, Lienau’s home country. Propagated cuttings decorate her office shelves and tables—and nooks throughout the buildings on campus. “I love plants, so I have a few in my office and all over the Law School. The students like them—just a little life and a little greenery. I stick them everywhere, even my BC Law mug!” she says.
The first conference Lienau attended as a junior law professor was held at the historic Hotel Boulderado in Boulder, Colorado. Since 1908, Hotel Boulderado has welcomed weary travelers and celebrities such as Robert Frost, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong. “I keep this coaster as a reminder of the path of my career, as well as my friends and colleagues from that conference,” she says.

Specifically, the fellowship aims to support faculty who “lean into this ideal of formative education,” Mike says, “connecting important research with being an awesome teacher who cares for the growth of the student as a well-rounded person.”
“[Faculty support] has been a big focus for us,” says Kate Ascione ’93, P’25, ’26, “because we’ve seen it in action in our daughters’ BC education. When professors send thoughtful emails or help guide and mentor students, offering time for intentional conversations and reflection, it can have a really profound impact on them. It can change the course of someone’s college journey—their career, even.”
Dr. Belle Liang, the inaugural Ascione Faculty Formation Fellow, demonstrates this dynamic in both her teaching and research as a professor of counseling, developmental, and educational psychology in the Lynch School of Education and Human Development. Founder of The Purpose Lab at BC, which explores topics such as mentorship, vocational design, and education of the whole person, Liang also authored a book titled How to Navigate Life: The New Science of Finding Your Way in School, Career, and Beyond and helped develop a program called “TrueNorth” that helps students grapple with the most significant questions in their lives.
I have such admiration for Kate and Mike Ascione. They’re such intelligent people, full of heart and generosity, and it’s been an honor to step into the role of the inaugural Ascione Faculty Formation Fellow.
IBesides the resources and time provided by the fellowship—which are important—the sense of being chosen to explore this work that’s deeply important to them and the University is something I take very seriously. This is for BC; there are people here who believe in me and are investing in me. It makes a world of difference.”
