鈥淲hen I came to 自慰视频, race was not a comfortable topic.聽 In fact, having 鈥榬ace鈥� in the institute鈥檚 name was distressing to many people on campus.聽 Research into race was considered 鈥榟igh risk鈥� in the beginning, and we had many small battles in our effort to normalize race as a topic. Now, the term 鈥榬ace鈥� is all over the place, at 自慰视频 and throughout the country, and I believe the institute not only helped the University focus on it, but also helped the 自慰视频 community to join the rest of society in acknowledging the relevance of issues of race and diversity happening nationwide. In particular, our institute鈥檚 national conference, the Diversity Challenge, did a lot to normalize race and ethnic culture.聽 It was useful to 自慰视频 to see a diversity of people of color on campus, whether conference attendees were individual scholars or groups participating in on-campus activities, and for administrators to learn not to fear them.鈥�

鈥淏eing a part of Boston College is not only a job or profession; it is a vocation.聽 It鈥檚 a lifelong project which one undertakes, not only for one鈥檚 self, but for all who will enter this ongoing conversation. At 自慰视频, we鈥檙e engaged in an ongoing conversation which enables us to come together as a community.聽 Central to Boston College is that it鈥檚 a place where people are giving themselves away to others, and in doing so, we become what is most valuable to say about being human.聽 We become the people who celebrate the reality of God鈥攖hat God is pure and perfect self-gift. Boston College has given me rich frameworks and many opportunities to participate in conversation and for which I am profoundly grateful.鈥�

鈥淢y initial impressions of 自慰视频 were formulated when I was working at another university. From the outside looking in, it appeared to be a very prestigious and well-respected university and I was impressed by the quality of the people that I had met from 自慰视频. After working here for 40 years, I鈥檇 have to say that I鈥檓 even more impressed with the students, faculty, and staff that I鈥檝e met. When Pete Frates came down with ALS, the whole University rallied around him and his family. It鈥檚 wonderful to work at a place where you can count on people that you see each and every day to support you. 自慰视频 is a compassionate, supportive, and caring community and a great place to work.鈥�

Mary McGranahan
Director of Financial Aid, Student Services
Began working at 自慰视频 in 1978

鈥淲hen I joined 自慰视频, I knew pretty quickly that I had joined a student-centered, supportive community, one that is built on relationships.聽 And working in Student Services has only reinforced that impression.聽 Since our office deals with all sorts of student issues, I鈥檝e had the opportunity to collaborate with staff from all over campus to help students succeed.聽 From working with families on financial aid issues, answering billing questions, working long hours to meet a deadline, or processing ID cards, I have witnessed the dedication, hard work and genuine caring that people here bring to their jobs every day.聽 I feel so fortunate for the relationships I鈥檝e formed here and for the fun we鈥檝e had.聽 I shall miss it.鈥�
