  • Today is #GivingTuesday—a global day of giving back—and a chance to honor the @BostonCollege individuals who have made a difference in our lives.
    .
    Naseem Moussavian '19 shares: “I am forever indebted to the brilliance of Professor Brian Braman and am making a gift to BC in his honor this #GivingTuesday. His unparalleled wisdom, humility, and leadership cultivated the Perspectives community. It is through this community, and his mentorship, that I discovered my intellectual love of philosophy. Professor Braman's steadfast commitment to his students is inspiring. I am genuinely proud and grateful to have been gifted with his presence in my life.”
    .
    When you think back on your experience at BC, who comes to mind? Who encouraged, mentored, and inspired you—a professor, an advisor, a classmate?
