Major:ÌýDouble Major in Politcal Science & Communications

Occupation:ÌýLaw - Trademark Attorney at the USPTO

Favorite ×ÔοÊÓƵ Memory:ÌýI have so many favorite memories, but as a cheerleader I was fortunate enough to travel with the football team to away games. A memory that sticks out the most, has to be coming back to campus with the football team after Matt Ryan's 2007 last minute away game win (in the pouring rain) against VA-Tech! We were unexpectedly greeted by the students, the pep band and ×ÔοÊÓƵ community in the early early early morning hours outside of Alumni Stadium! Pulling up on the buses and being greeted with the fight song and ×ÔοÊÓƵ enthusiasm was indescribable. To see and feel all the ×ÔοÊÓƵ love was unforgettable, especially after being outside in the cold and rain and after a long journey home.

Why I got involved:ÌýI met my best friends, shared my best memories and even met my husband because of my ties to ×ÔοÊÓƵ. I wanted to get involved in the local chapter to keep the ×ÔοÊÓƵ spirit and community thriving in my local area.

What are your local favorites in DC.:ÌýI tend to stay in the Northern Virginia area and our favorite thing to do is walk around Old Town, Alexandria down towards the waterfront and enjoy all the restaurants and art installations in the area! I also highly recommend visiting the DC monuments at night to see them all lit up - so beautiful!

Fun Fact:ÌýIn my spare time I participate in some of the Little Theater of Alexandria's musicals!

DC Chapter Leader Jeni Hansen Headshot

Jeni Hansen '00

Lives in:ÌýDupont Circle

Major:ÌýHistory

Occupation: Public Relations

Favorite ×ÔοÊÓƵ Memory:ÌýMy favorite ×ÔοÊÓƵ memory is being a Tour Guide for the Admission Office, and being a spokesperson for the University. I fondly remember summers spent on campus talking to prospective families about the ×ÔοÊÓƵ experience, and helping to guide one of the most important decisions they could make together.

Why I got involved:ÌýWe all have roots and wings. Both of mine are here in Washington. After graduation, it was important to me to remain connected to the University in order to give back for the experience it gave to me. In the spirit of "men and women for others," it has been my pleasure to continue to give back to ×ÔοÊÓƵ by connecting people, and helping them excel in life beyond Boston College. I co-chair the ×ÔοÊÓƵ in DC group, sit on the Council for Women of Boston College, and the Board of Directors of the ×ÔοÊÓƵ Alumni Association.

What are your local favorites in DC:ÌýI love giving tours of Washington! My favorites photo opps are from the Washington National Cathedral and the White House. My favorite ×ÔοÊÓƵ-sponsored tour is the annual "Wreaths Across America" tour of alumni headstones at Arlington National Cemetery.

Fun Fact:ÌýÌýI sit on the Board of DC's Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration.
