As the Light the World Campaign draws near its end, Boston College Law School is proud to report that our alumni and friends are demonstrating unprecedented levels of financial support. Inspired by the stories of students whose education depends on the generosity of others, our donors are enabling the Law School to soar past its campaign goal, reaching heights never seen in our history. Earlier this fiscal year, BC Law received its largest gift ever from Jerome Lyle and Phyllis Rappaport. At the close of the fiscal year, we have reached an all-time record for BC Law of $13.6 million in total commitments in a single year—double last year’s record high. In these pages we recognize the many in our community who are stretching to give back to the school they love and share stories that highlight what this philanthropy enables us to achieve.
