Description:
A British and Irish Graduates in America business and social networking evening and launch party will be held in the Boston College Club on Tuesday evening, June 20th, 2006. We'll provide a distinguished guest speaker and some food and refreshments to get you started, and a cash bar to keep you going through the night. This is a great way to meet other British and Irish graduates from the Boston area.
This is also an opportunity to meet and learn from alumni organizers from other universities, find alumni from your own institution you may not have known existed, and get involved with BIG in America. Other distinguished guests include Mr John Rankin, HM Consul General and Ms Marianne Bolger, Vice Consul for Ireland in Boston.
This event will also mark the launch of the BIG Ball 2006. Following the blinding success of the inaugural British and Irish Universities Ball last year (see for yourself), the re-dubbed British and Irish Graduates Ball is scheduled for 3 November, 2006 at the Seaport Hotel, Boston. The Ball is only possible due to the efforts of our volunteer commmittee and support from university and business sponsorship. To get the ball rolling, everyone who attends the networking evening at the Boston College Club will get a chance to win the first two tickets to BIG Ball 2006.
