In the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel’s gigantic ballroom, golden numerical balloons of the classes being celebrated—years ending in 5 and 0—glittered overhead alongside crystal chandeliers. The smiles of nearly 400 alumni and guests were just as radiant. The evening featured a cocktail hour, dinner, and dance across two spacious rooms on November 8. There was also a reception for members of the Dean’s Council in appreciation of their generosity to BC Law School and for 1975 graduates celebrating their 50th anniversary.
The evening capped a weekend that included campus events the previous day. The Black Alumni Network held its 40th anniversary panel and the Alumni Board held its annual meeting. Activities included a state-of-the-school presentation by Odette Lienau, Marianne D. Short, Esq., Dean, a big-tech lecture by Professor Daniel Lyons, and a keynote address on immigration law by Professor Daniel Kanstroom. At sunset, there was also a festive reception.
Planning is underway for the 2026 reunion for classes ending in 1 and 6. For more information, visit bc.edu/lawalumni.
