Student-athletes were chosen for their on- and off-field successes
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College student-athletes were honored at the National Student-Athlete Day Reception in hosted by Learning Resources for Student-Athletes (LRSA) on Monday evening. The event honored the academic achievements of the BC students.
Â
Eagles were chosen by head coaches to represent their teams for successes both in the classroom and on the playing field. The student-athletes invited a professor who has made a lasting impact on their educational experience at Boston College. The event was an opportunity to bring faculty and student-athletes together outside of the classroom to recognize the important relationships that are formed at BC.
Â
William V. Campbell Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond and Director of LRSA Michael Harris spoke at the event. Sophomores Anna Flynn on the women's cross country/track and field team and Adam French of men's soccer were featured speakers.
Â
"This is a very special event that really exemplifies what our student-athletes and faculty are all about at BC," Jarmond said. "The connections formed between our faculty and student-athletes go beyond the classroom and are paramount to their success. We are proud to honor all of their accomplishments and the valued support the BC faculty provide."
Â
"I am really honored to be at this event and to be able to invite my faculty member, Flynn said. "I would have never thought that I would invite Father Paul McNellis to this event last year, but he has taught me a lesson greater than I could have ever asked for and that was to believe in myself."
Â
"For this event, I brought my mother with me, Mary French, as she was a huge inspiration to me," French said. "Boston College was always in my life from when I was little, but she was my number one inspiration and main reason I came here, not only to play soccer. To be selected by my coach for this event is very special to me. It shows that my coach trusts me, trusts that I have good relationships with my professors and supports me in general."
