Dear Members of the Boston College Community: The Boston College Sesquicentennial is entering its third and final semester, with many special events planned for the months ahead. So many people have made this time of celebration possible with their generosity, talent, and love for Boston College. We have marveled at the gifts that our community has to offer and that remind us of all that we are and all we have been over the course of 150 years. In a spirit of gratitude, I, along with the Sesquicentennial Steering Committee, invite you to join us this semester in celebrating this wonderful milestone. Please visit our website at bc.edu/150 for details and a schedule of events. Sincerely,
