This year's recipient of the Finnegan Award, Boston College's most prestigious prize, is Dan Kennedy. His immediate plans after graduation tomorrow include giving away his computer, recycling his Blackberry, and moving to a modest communal house in St. Paul, Minn. Where most Finnegan winners go on to careers on Wall Street or post-graduate study at top schools worldwide, Kennedy will be entering the Society of Jesus with hopes to become a priest in 2024.

  • Roadrunners
  • Since 1996, a growing number of Boston College undergraduates have run the Boston Marathon as a team. They've done so to raise money for the non-profit Campus School, which is based in the University's Campion Hall and serves Boston-area children with multiple disabilities. Fifteen days before the marathon, some 35 of this year's 290 marathon team members were loosening up in the Flynn Recreation Complex for a training run. Earlier, @BC interviewed two of them, Corleone Delaveris '15, a first-time marathoner, and Angela Desmond '13, co-chair of this year's team and a Boston Marathon veteran.
