Each student who purchases a ticket for the ball will be given an invitation for a faculty member of his or her choice, in the hope the teacher will attend. Faculty, too, may find that there are many interesting students who are interesting people, as well. The ball will be held from 6 p.m. to midnight at O'Connell House. An array of appetizers and pasta, as well as dessert, will be provided by Boston College Catering. Grieco said last year's ball drew some 400 students and 40 faculty.
Faculty attend free.
