and excelled in five sports. The 1945 graduate gained high
acclaim for efforts in archery, baseball, basketball, canoeing,
and field hockey. However, her achievements didn't end there
as she was an outstanding student whose academic proficiency
placed her on the Dean's List.

continuing her athletic endeavors. As a Boston Women's Lacrosse
Association player, she captained the U.S. Women's Touring
Team in 1957. In field hockey, she played at the Northeast

Receiving her Master's Degree from Boston University in 1954,
B.J. has been involved in countless professional organizations
over the years. Her distinguished accomplishments are directly
attributable to her ability, competence, and leadership qualities
that have brought great honor upon herself and Boston University.
