Dear Parents and Families,
With the midterm mark behind us and the holiday season approaching, this edition of Parent Update focuses on student opportunities for personal and spiritual growth, career readiness, and popular campus programs.
In our featured Q&A, Fr. Casey Beaumier S.J., the new Haub Vice President for University Mission and Ministry, shares his vision for the division and offers guidance on how families can encourage their students to embrace the many opportunities for reflection, purpose, and growth at Boston College.
In our program spotlights, view a Career Center video featuring its resources, services, and signature program, Endeavor; get to know a new collaborative initiative called Cooking in Conversation; and catch-up with the ever-popular Church in the 21st Century Center's Agape Latte program.
Finally, I am thrilled to announce that we are launching a webinar series starting with Transitions and Belonging: Making the Heights Home on November 21 at 12:00 pm. I hope you will consider registering here or view more information below.
Sincerely,
Shawna Cooper Whitehead, Ed.D.
