Welcome to Your New Alumni Association

Henry Ford said “Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”

Last year our alumni came together to reorganize their Association to better serve the needs of our growing and diversifying alumni body. The structure is in place. Now we need your help to make it a success. The Alumni Board is working tirelessly to refi ne old programs and develop new ones that will make your experience as alumni more rewarding. I encourage each of you to get involved as a volunteer by contacting the board member assigned to any area that interests you.

BC LawNet, our new online community designed exclusively for BC Law alumni, is central to our efforts. But its success is contingent upon everyone registering and completing the Alumni Directory listing. The punch-out card and instructions on the back of this brochure provide you with all the informa- Christine A. Kelly tion you need to do so. Class of ’97 Welcome to your new Alumni Association! Please consider Assistant Dean Alumni Relations becoming more involved in any way you can. As Mr. Ford said, we need to work together to make it a success.

BOSTON COLLEGE LAW PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE: Coming Home

Transform • Connect • Achieve • Engage • Lead • Educate • Communicate

I recently attended several BC Law alumni events. Conversations were vibrant and full. Friends, new and old, listened with pride and concern about others’ situations. Cards and emails were exchanged, senior memories shared, youthful ambitions offered. The experiences felt like coming home.

There’s something special about these exchanges that transcend simply the shared experience of having attend- ed BC Law. It is the type of people our School attracts that makes reconnection among us so full of meaning. No matter the topic discussed or the situation, there is no pretense or pretext. It is something of a renewal, an opportunity to recapture community and be comfortable with members of our extended family.

Our new Board structure, and our online commu- nity BC LawNet, will allow us to reach out like never before to all who have passed through BC Law’s doors. John D. Hanify I’m proud to lead this effort. Come home to BC Law Class of ’74 through our alumni activities. This is a good time to be in a place with old friends, or, even better, new friends President Alumni Board who feel like old ones.

Sincerely, BC LAWNET

BOSTON COLLEGE LAW STUDENT PROGRAMS

Transform • Connect • Achieve • Engage • Lead • Educate • Communicate

Our research tells us that if our Alumni Association forms a strong relationship with students early on, those students will be more likely to remain involved throughout their careers. The goal of the new structure is to help solidify those relationships from the fi rst day students walk through the Law School’s front doors. We strive to make all our alumni feel a connection with the Law School that will endure.

The board member responsible for Student Programs connects students to the Association and its leaders, in order to help develop their awareness of alumni life after graduation. He works closely with the Law Student Association (LSA) and other student groups to identify different student needs and interests, which can then be fulfi lled by alumni involvement and personal contact.

I’ve always felt that what sets BC Law apart from other law schools is our strong sense of community and the fact that our alumni are always willing to help current “students. ”

BOSTON COLLEGE LAW ADMISSIONS

Transform • Connect • Achieve • Engage • Lead • Educate • Communicate

One of the Law School’s most important goals is to recruit the most diverse and talented entering class each year. This effort requires extensive outreach by Law School admissions staff, faculty and current students. It can also be signifi cantly enhanced by including alumni in these outreach efforts.

The admissions board member will work to create an Alumni Admissions Assistance Program to involve alumni across the country in the recruitment process. Our hope is that by matching alumni to students based on geographic area and/or interest, the Alumni Association can help the admissions staff continue to attract and retain the very best students.

BOSTON COLLEGE LAW CAREER SERVICES

Transform • Connect • Achieve • Engage • Lead • Educate • Communicate

When our current students are making critical deci- sions about their career paths after law school, there is no better resource we can make available to them than our own alumni. BC Law alumni are successful, experienced professionals. More importantly, they understand the School and the many opportunities available to BC Law graduates.

Because of this, alumni can play a critical role in educating students about various career choices, as well as help prepare them for their job searches and assist them in fi nding summer and permanent positions.

The board member for Career Services will recruit alumni volunteers to enhance career related resources, including a mentoring program.

BOSTON COLLEGE LAW ADVOCACY PROGRAMS

Advocacy programs give students a unique opportunity to engage in real-world lawyering and problem solving, while receiving constructive feedback from practitio- ners. Some of this advice will stay with them for the length of their careers.

Through involvement in a variety of internal and inter-school competitions, students can build the persuasive written and oral skills needed in the boardroom and the courtroom.

There are four in-house competitions: Moot Court, Mock Trial, Negotiations, and Client Counseling. The board member for Advocacy Programs acts as a spokesperson in recruiting alumni to serve as judges for these competitions in order to provide the necessary alumni volunteer support to keep the programs running smoothly.

Alumni programs and events are the lynchpin of a successful alumni association. They attract a broad range of alumni and provide regular and tangible opportunities for people to reconnect with each other and the Law School staff.

Whether in the form of a social gathering, a community service initiative or a substantive event such as Law Day, our programs are a valuable part of the work of the Alumni Association.

One of the strongest components of Jesuit education is the idea of educating the “whole person,” or mind, body and spirit. A strong and vibrant network of social and extracurricular activities is an important part of the educational process.

At BC Law, we have nearly 40 student groups. They range from lifestyle (LAMBDA, BC Law Veterans) to political (the Federalist Society, BC Democrats) to educational (law reviews and clinics). Many alumni feel their strongest connection to the Law School through their participation or membership in one of these student organizations or groups.

The board member for Affi nity Groups works to create and sustain those networks to promote communications, events and activities among alumni from those groups. This position also works with Christine Griffin current student organizations to put them in touch Class of ’93 with the larger network of similarly affi liated alumni.
