Join President **Grace Cotter Regan P’12** and **Alison MacDonald**, Vice Principal of Teaching and Learning at the St. Ignatius Community on the Upper East Side for our NYC alumni reception in their beautiful outdoor garden patio! Hear the latest on *Illuminating Excellence: The Campaign for BC High*, our strategic plan, and our bold vision for *Human Excellence*.

**Fr. Patrick Nolan, S.J.**, will open our event in NYC with a prayer, setting a reflective and purposeful tone for the evening, and **Mike DeCosta ’86**, Managing Partner of Caldwell Partners, will offer valuable advice on building and sustaining meaningful networks at every stage of your career—from your first role, to leadership positions, and everything in between. 

Should you have any questions, please reach out to Chrissy Dahlheimer P’29, Senior Director of Alumni Engagement, at [cdahlheimer@bchigh.edu ](mailto:cdahlheimer@bchigh.edu)
