Students met alumni who work in the arts on November 13 at the tenth annual Career Night for the Arts, sponsored by the Boston College Arts Council and the University’s Career Center. For two hours in the McMullen Museum, more than 100 students held informal networking sessions with some 20 alumni, including painters, filmmakers, photographers, writers, arts administrators, actors, an interior decorator, and an architect. Networking sessions enable students to hear directly from practitioners in a field without recruiters, and to see “models of success,” says Amy Donegan, associate director of the Career Center, adding, “The alumni are just fabulous. They love to give back through events like this.” Above, (l-r), Lena Park ’11, Hannah Wheeler ’12, Carolyn McCrosson ’12, and Courtney Caliendo ’12 talk with Erin Dionne ’97, an assistant professor of English at Montserrat College and author of stories and novels for “middle graders” (ages 9–12).
