Winston Center says goodbye to inaugural director

After decades of dedicated, intelligent, and impactful leadership at Boston College, Dick Keeley has stepped down as director of the Winston Center and senior associate dean for undergraduate programs.

It would take many pages to recount the breadth and depth of Dick’s contributions to his role leading the Winston Center since its inception in the Carroll School over the past two-plus decades, and also to the wider University—contributions that included many remarkable years as director of the PULSE service-learning program. Dick’s ideas, imagination, hard work, and compassion have truly moved the needle to help shape Boston College—and help bring the Carroll School to where it is today. Of course, the Winston Center under Dick's astute guidance has been an integral part of our progress.

I am pleased to report that Dick will remain as a member of the Carroll School faculty, and will have a greater opportunity to pursue his lifelong research and writing interests, in part as a true authority on the work of legendary urbanist Jane Jacobs (with whom Dick was also a close, personal friend). Join me in saying "Thank you, Dick, and let’s continue the great conversation!"
