Jim Noel, a junior defensive back from Everett, Mass., has been named winner of the 2012 Jay McGillis Memorial Football Scholarship.
The endowed scholarship, named for the former Boston College player who died from leukemia in 1992, is presented each year to the defensive back who best exemplifies the personal qualities of McGillis, such as dedication, leadership by example, extraordinary competitive spirit and personal concern for family, friends and teammates. For the past 20 years, the BC football Spring Game has been dedicated to the memory of the McGillis.
Noel, a sociology major, has played in 35 games in his threeyear varsity football career, making 78 tackles and five pass interceptions.
Be 'the BC Voice'
Do you know a student who has “the BC Voice”?
The Office of News & Public Affairs is seeking two BC undergrads – one male and one female – to serve as narrators for the University’s 150th Historical Mobile Tour. Scheduled to debut to coincide with Boston College’s Sesquicentennial Celebration in September, the GPS-guided mobile website will provide visitors, both on-campus and virtual, a comprehensive overview of the Boston College campus and its rich history.
A number of notable Boston College community members have already recorded portions of the multimedia tour and the voice talent of two students will be used to guide visitors to various locations.
Students interested in becoming “the voice” are asked to record a 30-second audition, reading their choice of material aloud. Students may submit an .m4p, .mp3, .wav or .mov file via e-mail to social@bc.edu by Friday, April 20. A winner will be announced April 24.
