Welcome Letters

Welcome Letter from William P. Leahy, S.J., President
Dear Fellow Employee:
The strength and vitality that Boston College today enjoys is due in no small part to the many important contributions made by each of its members. The University benefits greatly from the dedication and professionalism that each of you brings to your work.
As a Jesuit institution, Boston College takes special interest in the well-being of everyone in its community. The policies, benefits, and services described in this handbook reflect that concern. I encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities and resources available to you for your personal growth and professional development.
I hope you will derive much satisfaction and personal fulfillment in knowing the vital contribution that you make to the success of our University.
Sincerely,
William P. Leahy, S.J.
