Favorite 蝌蚪直播 Memory:听I have so many favorite memories, but as a cheerleader I was fortunate enough to travel with the football team to away games. A memory that sticks out the most, has to be coming back to campus with the football team after Matt Ryan's 2007 last minute away game win (in the pouring rain) against VA-Tech! We were unexpectedly greeted by the students, the pep band and 蝌蚪直播 community in the early early early morning hours outside of Alumni Stadium! Pulling up on the buses and being greeted with the fight song and 蝌蚪直播 enthusiasm was indescribable. To see and feel all the 蝌蚪直播 love was unforgettable, especially after being outside in the cold and rain and after a long journey home.
Why I got involved:听I met my best friends, shared my best memories and even met my husband because of my ties to 蝌蚪直播. I wanted to get involved in the local chapter to keep the 蝌蚪直播 spirit and community thriving in my local area.
What are your local favorites in DC.:听I tend to stay in the Northern Virginia area and our favorite thing to do is walk around Old Town, Alexandria down towards the waterfront and enjoy all the restaurants and art installations in the area! I also highly recommend visiting the DC monuments at night to see them all lit up - so beautiful!
Fun Fact:听In my spare time I participate in some of the Little Theater of Alexandria's musicals!

Favorite 蝌蚪直播 Memory:听My favorite 蝌蚪直播 memory is being a Tour Guide for the Admission Office, and being a spokesperson for the University. I fondly remember summers spent on campus talking to prospective families about the 蝌蚪直播 experience, and helping to guide one of the most important decisions they could make together.
Why I got involved:听We all have roots and wings. Both of mine are here in Washington. After graduation, it was important to me to remain connected to the University in order to give back for the experience it gave to me. In the spirit of "men and women for others," it has been my pleasure to continue to give back to 蝌蚪直播 by connecting people, and helping them excel in life beyond Boston College. I co-chair the 蝌蚪直播 in DC group, sit on the Council for Women of Boston College, and the Board of Directors of the 蝌蚪直播 Alumni Association.
What are your local favorites in DC:听I love giving tours of Washington! My favorites photo opps are from the Washington National Cathedral and the White House. My favorite 蝌蚪直播-sponsored tour is the annual "Wreaths Across America" tour of alumni headstones at Arlington National Cemetery.
Fun Fact:听听I sit on the Board of DC's Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration.
