  • ‘’I may have been far from the Heights but that flag reminded me every day where I came from.’’ Boston College alum and Marine Corps Captain John Murtagh ’09 kept this flag nearby for every day of his 7-month deployment to Afghanistan.
    To all who served – or continue to serve – on this Veterans Day, we thank you.

  • At a Boston College Alumni Association event you can reconnect with old friends, make new friends, and maybe ... meet the love of your life!
    Lea Freeman '12 and Greg Vavoules '08 didn't know each other while at BC, but they met at an alumni gathering in San Diego in 2015 ... and in 2019 Lea and Greg got married, with many fellow Eagles in attendance.
    Don't miss out on your chance to make connections with other BC alumni. Check out the list of upcoming events at bit.ly/bcalumnievents1119.

  • This Boston College cat wishes you a Happy National Cat Day!
    And if you’ve spotted a BC Women’s Soccer shirt in the background, that’s because Deirdre Byrnes Decker ’97 who sent us this photo is a former member of the team. Go Eagles (and cats 🐱🐱🐱)!

  • Today is the perfect day to highlight these Boston College alumni and recently ordained Jesuits because October 23 is the birthday of St. Ignatius, founder of the Society of Jesus.
    The ordinations were on 5 different continents, a true example of "go set the world aflame." Photo: Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. #stignatius #jesuits #bostoncollege #wearebc #evertoexcel #bcalumni     1
  • Happy 100th anniversary to the Boston College Bands Program!
    This weekend BC will welcome hundreds of bands alumni home to the Heights to celebrate. And this photo definitely fits the festivities: Peter Giambanco ’87 holds a quilt, handmade by his daughter, with T-shirts from his BC Screaming Eagles Marching Band days including shirts from the Liberty Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and Hall of Fame Bowl.

  • When it comes to Boston College's two larger libraries, are you a Bapst person or an O'Neill person?
    It turns out that October is a big month for these BC libraries: October 31, 1922, was the Bapst groundbreaking and October 14, 1984, was the O'Neill dedication.
    Happy anniversary to two very important places for generations of BC students! #library #study #allnighter #bostoncollege #wearebc #evertoexcel #bcalumni     23
  • October may be the most Boston College of months, thanks to all the leaves turning BC maroon and gold!
    If this photo looks familiar, you must be one of the over 34,000 members of the Boston College Neenan Society who've turned their Neenan Calendar pages to the new month.

  • Because of the incredible support of the Boston College community, this year’s #BCPops on the Heights raised over $12.3 million for 427 student scholarships!
    The late Barbara and James F. Cleary ’50, H’93, founded the annual Pops on the Heights scholarship gala in 1993, and the Cleary legacy continued during this magical evening.
    Make sure to see the special soloist and then look skyward for the grand finale shortly after in the video’s last 1:30 minutes.
    Special thanks to Leslie Odom Jr., Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra, the Boston College Bands - BC Marching Band, the University Chorale of Boston College, and student performer Natalie Marsan ’21 for making #BCPops another amazing success!
