More than 700 alumni and friends celebrated BC Law Reunion and Alumni Weekend 2016 last November. The weekend provided alumni from across ten classes the chance to reconnect with classmates, professors, and our beloved alma mater.

The weekend kicked off on Friday with events that included a panel hosted by the Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy entitled “Terrorism: Current Threats and Possible Responses.” The Alumni Assembly followed with keynote speaker Walter Kelly ’68, who shared insights from his experience representing Steven Avery, the subject of the Netflix hit series Making a Murderer. Friday evening concluded with our much-loved Bar Review.

Saturday’s festivities at the Ritz-Carlton started with a thought-provoking alumni panel discussing post-election predictions and the impact on areas such as the economy, immigration, health care, and technology. Later, Dean’s Council members gathered for a special reception with Dean Vincent Rougeau and Provost and Dean of Faculties David Quigley, who expressed deep gratitude for their support. The evening culminated with spirited class dinners where alumni shared stories with one another about their professional and personal lives.

To mark their reunion milestone, many alumni were inspired to make a gift and encouraged their classmates to do the same. The total amount raised from reunion classes exceeded $5.1 million. Special congratulations to the Class of 1976, which raised the most money through gifts and pledges that totaled $2.4 million.

Planning for Reunion and Alumni Weekend 2017 is well under way for November 3-4, 2017. If your graduation year ends with 2 or 7, mark your calendars. Please also consider serving on your class reunion committee. To join or learn more, please contact Benjamin Ligas at benjamin.ligas@bc.edu.

We hope to see you there.
