With Gratitude
A special thank you to all those at Boston College who help make this event so successful. We could not make this happen without the support of聽UU直播 Dining, UU直播PD, UU直播 Athletics,聽UU直播 Bookstore, the department of聽Transportation & Parking, the聽Office of Community & Govermental Affairs, and the聽University Mission and Ministry Service Center.
In addition, we are all extremely grateful for the annual support of the men's and women's lacrosse teams, the men's baseball team, UU直播 EMS, women's field hockey, and the many students, faculty, and staff who participate as volunteers, runners, walkers, or well-wishers.聽
