Investment guru Peter Lynch ’65, actor Chris O’Donnell ’92, NFL quarterback Matt Ryan ’08, distinguished Cal Tech chemistry professor Peter Dervan ’67, and social entrepreneur Navyn Salem ’94, are among eight Boston College alumni to extol the virtues of their BC education in the 2013 public service announcement (PSA) produced by the Office of News & Public Affairs.
The 30-second PSA, which will make its television debut on September 6 when the Eagles take on the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest University on ESPN 2, features prominent graduates describing how their Boston College education helped to shape their success.
“Continuing on the theme from last year, we enlisted the support of some of our most distinguished alumni from a variety of fields in celebrating Boston College’s formational strengths,” said News & Public Affairs Director Jack Dunn. “BC alumni have great affection for Boston College, and in the PSA they voice their affection by describing the pivotal role that Boston College played in influencing their lives.”
BC Men’s hockey coach Jerry York ’67, Hill Holliday founder Jack Connors ’63, and Bigelow Tea President Cynthia Bigelow ’82, also appear in the PSA, which will be shown during all of Boston College’s televised NCAA sporting events this academic year.
