Donna Bennett (2021) - Varsity Club Hall of Fame

Donna Bennett

Induction:
2021

In a career that touched five decades in the Boston College athletics department, Donna Bennet provided guidance, encouragement, mentorship, empathy and so much more as an athletic trainer to hundreds of BC student-athletes. As an athletic trainer, her duties stretched far beyond her sports medicine responsibilities. As Title IX’s progress began to take shape on campuses across the country, the opportunities for female athletes continued to grow and Bennett took on added support roles in travel, expenses and conditioning. Bennett directly impacted the lives and career of BC student-athletes across women’s basketball, lacrosse, soccer and field hockey with her main focus as each team’s athletic trainer, but most notably as an advocate for each of the young women and their team’s equal place in the Boston College athletics landscape.
