Alumni Weekend 2011
Roughly 5,000 alumni came back to the Charles River Campus and the Medical Campus for Alumni Weekend, despite warnings of an unseasonably early winter storm. Steven Hall, vice president of alumni relations, said the turnout was several times as large [...]as similar events a few years ago.
“There really is a palpable energy among the BU alumni population, and it was on full display,†said Hall. “There was something for everyone, but the highlight of the weekend was BU’s first Celebration of Black Alumni, with special events focused on the amazing legacy of African American alumni.â€

Bob Herbert at Alumni Weekend
The 2011 Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture Series was given by Bob Herbert, former New York Times columnist. The event took place during this year's Alumni Weekend.
Howard Zinn was an author, a history professor, and a political activist whose writings [...]changed the lives of BU students and readers around the world. Zinn taught in the College of Arts & Sciences’ political science department for twenty-four years, from 1964 to 1988. He was a hero of the political left, a consistent and cogent critic of American policies, both domestic and international. He is best known for his 1980 book "A People’s History of the United States", which countered the premise that history must be written by and for society’s "winners." A television documentary released in 2009, "The People Speak", translated Zinn’s work to the screen for yet another generation of progressive thinkers.
The Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture Series is made possible by a generous gift from Alex MacDonald, Esq. (CAS’72), and Maureen A. Strafford, MD (MED’76).
