MAR 16-MAY 11.
This course explores the significance of the most fundamental and intimate relationships, marriage and family. Through analysis of film, popular literature, social science research, philosophical sources, and theological texts, the course will survey the philosophies of personhood and relationality that function as the foundations for how we understand the historical and modern institutions of marriage.

Celebrating our students and faculty
BC's Events Manager Piers Dooley (right) and Professor Jennifer Cole, who leads the Woods Sustainability Certificate program
, presented at the 7th Annual World Congress Global Pharmaceutical and M
edical Meetings Conference. Their interactive talk focused on how to create and host a sustainable event within these two complex fields. While many organizations in these areas cite sustainability as a goal, their events do not always reflect that, the speakers said. They discussed how professionals can make decisions about everything from site selection, transportation, and food and beverage choices to donations and vendor buy-in, in ways that will have a positive impact on the environment.

Woods MS in Applied Economics student Ivan Lozano
is currently serving as a
Resident Assistant
, in the Boston College residence halls, a coveted position on campus.
“Coming into my second year at Boston College, I found myself wanting to be part of the larger community and to learn about what other graduate students were interested in pursuing," Ivan says. "Being a Resident Assistant gave me a broader perspective on the vast network of BC's residential community and allowed me to be a leader in the undergraduate class. The opportunity to be an RA while finishing my studies in the MSAE program revealed that Boston College really cares about bringing students, faculty, and alumni into the community, no matter what your background might be.”

Woods senior Anna Asaridis
was accepted to a second degree nursing program at
Massachusetts General Hospital's Institute of Health Professions.
Anna will graduate from Woods in May with a degree in psychology.
Anna shares, "All my life I wanted to be a nurse and so I knew that with my determination I would eventually fulfill this goal. Through the support of the Woods College, my professors, and my strong work ethic, I was accepted into the MGH Institute accelerated second degree nursing program. It is completed in 16 months and is very intense, but I am excited to get started. I will never forget the people that I have met along the way at Woods and cannot thank everyone enough for their support."

George Washington University's Pre-Medical Certificate program.

Advice from longtime Woods College administrator Sarah Piepgrass.
One of my favorite resources is “Daily Writing Tips,” an email that arrives every day with information about writing, vocabulary, reading, publishing--all things literary. Here is the intro to a recent ‘tip’ article:
Learning to Write by Reading
Posted: 31 Aug 2018 07:54 AM PDT
You might think avoiding other influences makes you a more original writer. But nobody can write in a vacuum. Even the meanings of words depend on how others have used them. You didn’t invent the English language. Everything you write, you learned from someone else, even if only from your first grade teacher. Only when you’re aware of your influences as a writer can you transcend them, instead of unconsciously copying them.
Instead, reading other writers (which you already do) and learning from their style will help you develop your own, original style. Besides improving your vocabulary, it will give you a wider array of tools from which you can choose. You may recognize your own style as you read someone else’s. Or you may learn what you don’t want to sound like.

With Deepest Sympathy
»
A message from Dean David Goodman:
It is with deep sadness that I write to inform you of the passing of one of our valued faculty members, Professor Richard Zaiger, who passed away on February 4, 2019. Services were held on February 6.
Professor Zaiger, a long-time member of the Woods College faculty, taught several courses pertaining to labor relations and human resources management, as well as labor and employment law. He was a cherished part of this community and a generous and caring mentor to our students.
Please keep Professor Zaiger's family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
