Student Spotlight: Sara Goek

Sara is the first-ever major in Irish Studies at Boston College. The university currently offers only a minor in Irish Studies, so Sara designed her own interdisciplinary program which was approved by the college of Arts and Sciences; then she jumped right in and took two semesters of Irish language along with her first-year core courses. A member of the Honors program, Sara is also an accomplished flautist and has performed with the Irish Music Program, as well as participating in many of the sessions around the Boston area. Somehow she finds time to help out as the undergraduate assistant in Connolly House, where her drive and initiative have made her a valued member of our team.
