Tobin College of Business, we believe in providing our students an education that is entrepreneurial, experiential, and global. This past year has been one full of challenges, as well as successes, and we are particularly proud of the efforts made by our faculty and students to transition to online learning in response to the challenges of COVID-19. In this Dean’s Report, we share the success of our students in their curricular and cocurricular activities. In addition, we highlight the extraordinary caliber of scholarship by our faculty that is receiving national acclaim across multiple disciplines. The dedication and devotion of our faculty to both their research and their teaching continues to be exemplary. Our experiential learning opportunities have thrived during the past year, as evident in our James and Eileen Christmas Business Plan Competition and Pitch Event, our Tobin CEO Seminar Series, our Henry George Lecture Series, and our Executive-in-Residence Program. We are proud of the positive metrics in the placement and performance of our students, research publications by our scholars, and new professorships endowed by our dedicated alumni. As a Vincentian community, we consider the well-being, health, and education of our students to be our primary priority, and we are grateful to all of our generous and devoted alumni who have supported Tobin this year.

  • Covid-19 Related Changes
    PORTSMOUTH ABBEY SCHOOL Covid-19 Related Changes The following information details how Portsmouth Abbey School made adjustments to respond to difficulty incurred by the pandemic. Academic Program and Grading 2019-2020: The Abbey is on a trimester system, thus 2/3 of the final grade for each class during the 2019-2020 school year was completed under normal educational circumstances (two ten- week terms, two final exams). The Abbey moved to distance learning for the final trimester after spring break 2020 in response to Covid-19 related restrictions. Students continued to take all of their respective courses and complete both synchronous and asynchronous work through various online platforms through the end of May, concluding instruction at the same time they would have done so under normal circumstances. While students did not take final exams, those taking AP courses were expected to take the AP exams offered online by the Col- lege Board. The Abbey maintained a full grading policy (A-F scale), and the spring trimester made up the usual 1/3 of the final year-end course grade. Co-curricular Program 2019-2020: Student leaders continued to work with classmates through on-line plat- forms. The Student Life Office held class elections: candidates wrote speeches, posted videos, and elections were held online. Prospective prefects, International Student leaders, and captains went through application and interview processes. While nearly all off campus/summer opportunities were cancelled, those students awarded Haney Fellowships were invited to revise and resubmit new plans in response to pandemic related hardships. Fall 2020: The Abbey plans on holding full in-person school and running the full range of co-curricular pro- gramming for those students who can come to campus.

  • BC Fulton Hall of Fame
    Dear Fultonians, The Fultonian for Summer 2019 was mailed on July 12, 2019 and contained a completely unexpected honor for me as I learned that I had been inducted into the Hall of Fame as a representative of the Golden Age of Fulton Debate. It came at a perfect time for me to immediately show it to my brother Kevin, who had entered BC in 1967 and co-chaired the Fulton High School Debate Tournament in 1968. It also came at a perfect time in the history of Boston College, since the Boston College Magazine had just announced that the archive of issues from 100 years of The Heights has been made available on the internet. So I was able to browse my life at BC and recall my time as a Fultonian. I realize that your march through the decades made me one of the first honorees with an opportunity to thank you for the honor. Accordingly, I feel the obligation to recount my journey to this honor with the help of pictures and the thousands of words they merit. I was in the vortex of the Golden Age, because it didn’t begin with me and it didn’t end with me. My entrance to the Fulton certainly did not presage such an honor, based on my high school record as a member of the Behrens Debate Society of Canisius High School. I certainly couldn’t have been described as a “former all-state debater from Illinois” as Charlie Lawson, CBA ’70 was in 1967. The only debate tournament I won in high school occurred on Nov.

  • Donaterescuevocations.Org/Sean This Is My Vocation Story
    DONATErescuevocations.org/sean This is my Vocation Story Community: Alma Mater: Phone: Email: Sean Tobin Dominican Friars of the Province of Saint Joseph (Eastern Province) Providence College (203) 461-0227 [email protected] My name is Sean Tobin. The Order of Friars Preachers are inviting me to serve Christ and His Church. This is my story. In the Beginning I was raised in Greenwich, Connecticut in an extended Catholic family, where cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents were ever-present. It was a rich and loving environment that fostered faith and education. When not studying, I enjoyed playing baseball, cross country running, and especially reading. My favorite pastimes to this day include painting and drawing – interests instilled in me by my parents, who were both involved in the arts. My Faith Although we faithfully attended Mass on Sunday, and were schooled in the fundamentals of the faith, belief in Jesus Christ was not a central part of my life. Then, at the Jesuit high school I attended, I found myself asking the bigger questions in life: “What kind of person do I want to be?” “What is my purpose?” Things truly began to change during my junior year – specifically on the Feast of the Epiphany. As the priest performed the consecration, God made known to me for the first time His true presence in the Eucharist. From that moment on I began to understand that, if Christ is the center of my life, everything else must conform more perfectly to His will. Strengthened and encouraged by the Mass, the sacraments, and the friendship and influence of holy men and women, I’ve grown to see how cooperating with God’s grace leads one to great things: life spent in pursuance of God’s will is what Christians are called to each and every day.
