Dear Boston College Parents:
This edition of Parent Update is dedicated to transitions—helping you help your student make a smooth passage to the coming year.
This fall marks a significant transition for me as well. After spending more than 40 years in student affairs—the last five at Boston College—I have decided, after much reflection, to retire.
I am grateful that Joy Haywood Moore, associate vice president of Alumni Relations and University Commencement director, has agreed to serve as interim vice president of Student Affairs. A 1981 Lynch School graduate who received an honorary degree from Boston College in 2010, Moore has held a variety of senior leadership positions in higher education and independent schools. In 2011, she returned to her alma mater from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa.
As always, I wish you and your student continued success in this academic year.
Ever to Excel, Barbara Jones, Ph.D., Vice President for Student Affairs
