Homecoming is about celebrating BC's school spirit and coming together, and I wanted to be a part of that in a meaningful way." - Carson Zanella '25, a member of the 2024 Homecoming Court and women's hockey team

"I think many social workers still feel uncomfortable marketing themselves. They’re great at advocating for the populations they work with, but maybe not as great at articulating their own value to the field. In the book, we help you identify career-defining moments that you’re proud of. These moments can help you differentiate yourself from your colleagues and zero in on the long-lasting impact that you can have in this field. Social workers make an impact on a daily basis, but it’s really important for them to step back and examine the long term impact of the work they do, whether that’s improving a program or identifying a need and then creating an intervention to address that need." - Cindy Snell, Boston College School of Social Work's Director of Career Services and Alumni Relations who co-wrote "The Social Work Career Guidebook: How to Land Your Ideal Job and Build a Legacy" | READ MORE: https://on.bc.edu/CIndySnell
