BA English Major, projected graduation 2019
Galen works full time at a Traffic & Transportation Engineering Firm in Boston (Howard Stein Hudson), and commutes completely by public transportation - from Watertown to Boston, Boston to Brighton Campus, and then Campus back home to Watertown. Even with all of this running around, she's managed to be on the Dean's List most semesters.
Galen's perspective on the Woods College:
"I graduated high school in 2003, and have since floundered around trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I lived in California for six years attending school off and on, but felt unsatisfied with the path I was on. Being on my own with no college degree has been difficult to manage financially. I moved home in 2009 and explored education options again before being introduced to the Woods Colllege by my fiancé. For the first time I feel optimistic and confident about my future, and look forward to what my English degree will offer towards a career that I can be excited about...The roller-coaster of life has spun me through twists and turns where I expected the worst, but still hoped for the best. Now that I have explored the many interests that I had throughout my life, and have gained so much knowledge from all of the wonderful and daunting experiences in my past, I have a better understanding of who I am and who I want to be. I believe I have a strong grasp of what type of career would make me happy, and allow me to flourish most to achieve the fulfilling life I always hoped to have. I know what I love, and what I love is to write."

A monthly piece of advice from long term BC Woods College employee, Sarah Piepgrass, Academic & Student Services Specialist:
Woods College Rule to Live By:
"ACTIVATE YOUR BC EMAIL AND MONITOR IT CONSTANTLY!!
Any time anyone at BC wants to contact you, your BC email will be the means used. This includes messages from the Woods College office, Student Services, professors, and fellow students.
If you keep BC things in the BC email, you're more likely to see and be able to respond suitably to official communiqués. OF COURSE, THIS MEANS YOU MUST MONITOR THE BC EMAIL AT LEAST ONCE A DAY (which of course, is in your own best interest anyway :) )."
