After graduation I joined the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and I remain in the program today in my second year. After deciding to stay with JVC for a second year, I moved to Washington, D.C., where I work now for an organization called The Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth. The Campaign works on behalf some of the most “othered” individuals of our society. We are the national campaign working to end the practice of sentencing children to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

On March 7, the administration of Northeastern University responded to student activists from Students for Justice in Palestine distributing mock eviction notices in dormitories by suspending the student organization and charged two members of the organization with “endangering behavior.” This reaction is embarrassing on the part of Northeastern University.

In case a five-letter acronym is too long and unwieldy to use casually in conversation, the student organization formerly known as BCSSH has changed its name to Students for Sexual Health (SSH) as we move forward in promoting sexual health awareness and resources on Boston College’s campus and beyond.

As an alumnus of Boston College, this is the time of year which I am again reminded of BC’s fundraising efforts in the form of the twice weekly calls from well-meaning undergraduates who solicit donations. Again, I am reminded that since I graduated in the early ’80s I have not given one nickel to BC.

I’m not saying I’m not jealous of your tan, but Henry David T would be proud of what went down last week (and Boston College should be, too). Over Spring Break, hundreds of college students were arrested for engaging in civil disobedience by cuffing themselves to the White House fence, as thousands of others cheered them on.

A word of praise for the students who make up the Boston College Fossil Free organization. Sixteen members of BCFF devoted their Spring Break to lobbying in Washington for a more serious approach to this fundamental threat, six of them strenuously enough to get arrested for upsetting politicians.

Thank you so much for keeping the Campus School. This means so much to our family since our sweet grandson, Jack, is a student there.

It’s approaching two years since I graduated from Boston College, a fact with which I have finally come to terms. You will always carry your memories of BC, but BC will march forward without even noticing that you are gone. However, there is one exception. BC will always remember you as a source of money.
Matthew Alonsozana’s Feb. 5 op-ed betrays its supposed intent for “a more sustainable BC.” We in BC Fossil Free (BCFF) have the same goal, but we understand that such actions will do little to address the deepening climate crisis jeopardizing our future. As we correct some of Alonsozana’s mischaracterizations, we hope you will come to understand why young people on campus have been pushing for divestment and, more generally, fighting for climate justice.
