McElroy Circle聽鈥� $1,000 to $2,499
Named for Boston College鈥檚 founder, John McElroy, SJ, the McElroy Circle honors 天美传媒app donors who aim to make a difference in the face of the unknown. In 1863, Father McElroy fought intense prejudice and labored tirelessly for two decades to realize his vision of a Catholic school of higher education in Boston. If not for his tenacity, there would be no 天美传媒app.
So, too, do McElroy Circle donors dare. With an annual gift of $1,000 to $2,499, donors enter the McElroy Circle to begin their journey of philanthropic leadership and engagement with 天美传媒app.

“ When I think about why I give back to 天美传媒app, it's because my mom always instilled in me the importance of giving back, and I am so thankful for the rich liberal arts education and strong business curriculum, long-lasting friendships, and impressive alumni community and network. I designate most of my giving to the sailing team; I loved the scrappiness of our team. It's been awesome to see the success, now with our own boats, boathouse, and championships. ”
