Dear Boston College Parents: Spring semester is off to a busy start, and our students are settling into new routines. They’re also fast discovering campus spaces that offer warm alternatives to cold winter days. One terrific option is Boston College’s recently relocated and renovated McMullen Museum of Art, which we profile here. Our winter edition also offers a guide to the University’s off-campus housing resources, and more. Barbara Jones, Ph.D., |

New space, wide embrace: The McMullen Museum of Art reaches out to students
