    2016–2017 Annual Report The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy Rappaport Distinguished Visiting Professor Martin O’Malley presenting to students and faculty The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy at Boston College Law School was established through a gift from the Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation. The Center educates, supports, mentors, and inspires gifted law students interested in government and public policy, and convenes local, state, and national thought leaders to engage in robust discourse on relevant issues affecting government. Message from the Dean Vincent D. Rougeau I am pleased to report on a very exciting second year for the Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy at Boston College Law School. Through the generosity of the Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation, the Center became a part of BC Law School in 2015. The Center’s vision—to galvanize students, policy makers and thought leaders through dynamic programming that addresses important issues of law and public policy—was brought to life during our first year through the leadership of Faculty Director R. Michael Cassidy and Executive Director Vincent D. Rougeau Elisabeth J. Medvedow. Building upon this very successful foundation, our second year was marked by a number of dynamic conferences and programs on critical topics facing our democracy: race and policing, criminal justice reform, wealth inequality, state cooperation with immigration enforcement, and lifting the charter school cap in Massachusetts, among others. We also welcomed our first Rappaport Distinguished Visiting Professor, former Maryland Governor, former Mayor of Baltimore and recent presidential candidate Martin O’Malley. The Rappaport Fellows Program, a cornerstone of the Center that fosters the next generation of public policy leaders, continued to attract talented and dedicated students from seven Greater Boston-area law schools.

Photographs and Audiovisual Admin info Download xml version print version (pdf) Read collection overview Just 36 years of age, Jane Swift became Acting Governor of Massachusetts in 2001, the first and only woman to hold that office, the youngest woman governor in U.S. history, and the only one to give birth while in office. A native of North Adams, Swift served as a Republican in the state Senate from 1990-1996, becoming widely known for her role in passing the Education Reform Act of 1993. Defeated in a bid to represent the 1st District in the U.S. Congress, she served in the William Weld administration before earning election as Lieutenant Governor in 1998, rising to the governorship three years later when Paul Cellucci resigned to become Ambassador to Canada. Swift's tenure in office is remembered both for her calm management of the fallout from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and for a series of controversies that ultimately cost her political support. Trailing eventual nominee Mitt Romney in the 2002 Republican gubernatorial primary, Swift abandoned her campaign. Returning home to Williamstown, she has been involved in several educational initiatives, including serving as Director of Sally Ride Science and a lecturer in Leadership Studies at Williams College. Since July 2011, she has served as CEO of Middlebury Interactive Languages.

Grace & Co.-Conn.," dated 15 December 1998, in five public repositories in accordance with the Public Involvement Plan (PIP) prepared for this site. The report presents the results of a subsurface soil sampling and analysis program. This evaluation supplements previous evaluations of the presence of petroleum products in the soils at the property conducted by Haley & Aldrich, Inc (H&A). The supplemental work performed by H&A was completed in August 1995. OFFICES Cleveland At the time of 1995 subsurface investigation, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 0/rio regulations required use of the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) analytical method in Denver evaluating spills and releases of petroleum fuels on sites in Massachusetts. Since this program Colorado was completed, the DEP recently established two new, more accurate, methods of Hartford determining the compounds of petroleum present in groundwater and soil. The new analytical Connecticut methods, for Extractable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (EPH) and Volatile Petroleum Los Angeles Hydrocarbons (VPH), break down the aliphatic and aromatic fractions of TPH.
