Each year Boston College hosts a scholarship dinner in April. Two inspiring students are chosen to speak at the event and this year Naren Briar, an Annexstad Family Foundation Leaders for Tomorrow Scholar, was was one of those students. Despite the dinner being cancelled due to developments surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19), Boston College wanted to give their scholarship recipients an opportunity to express their gratitude to their benefactors. Boston College created a video and showcased the transcripts of the speeches that were to be presented by Naren and fellow student James Kirwan.
