From Buenos Aires to the Heights ❤️💛

Congratulations to Samantha Akers ’26, who graduates summa cm laude with a 4.0 GPA, earned the Marty Walsh Award, and was selected to carry the Woods banner at Commencement on Monday.

After first discovering Boston College while working in the U.S. as an au pair, Samantha pursued her dream of a four-year degree through Woods as a transfer student from Bunker Hill Community College. While balancing full-time work, she embraced every part of the BC experience through service, academics, and campus life. She shared, “Everybody's super supportive, and not just at Woods, but all across BC.”

We are proud to celebrate Samantha’s remarkable journey and all she has contributed to the Woods community. Read more about her journey in the Senior Reflections article in the link below.
