Our tour guide at @bostoncollege yesterday shared this quote with CSF students: “There are three types of people in the world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened.” The students who attended the BC tour yesterday are the type of people who make things happen. Gathering information about BC, the application and financial aid process and learning about what it means to be a first generation college student- all of these things will make things happen for them.
The tour was organized by Patrick Murtaugh (@daddymurt), CSF Young Leaders Council Member and BC alum. Patrick is passionate about sharing his love for BC and helping provide access for low-income students to learn about and attend BC.
The schools who participated are: @achscougars, @awhsbishops, @saintjosephprep, @matignonhs, @cardinalspellmanhighschool and @stjohnsprep
Thank you, BC and Patrick! #icsfboston

Today, Jennings McArthur and Yeneysi Linares from @bankofamerica visited Central Catholic High School (@cchsraider) and made presentations in their Honors Personal Finance classes.
The officers spoke to 60 students over the course of 2 hours. "Their presentations were excellent," said Dave DeFillippo of Central Catholic. "And the lively Q&A sessions between the students and BOA officers filled in a lot of gaps and misunderstandings in the realities for the students - hopefully making their financial lives smarter as young consumers, future college students and adults." We are so thankful for our partnerships with corporations like Bank of America for all they do to provide enriching experiences for CSF-supported schools. #ICSFBoston
