As alumni and parents, couple makes financial aid gift

Timothy J. Connors, Jr., '76 and Debra H. Connors '77 have made a significant additional pledge to the Connors Scholarship Fund, which they set up last year.

"We think it is very important to give back to Boston College," said Tim Connors, "and Debbie and I are happy to support our alma mater. We also feel that our family legacy, which started with my father [the late Timothy J. Connors '48], is important. We love the University more each time we visit as alumni and parents."

The Connors's daughter Kimberly is a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Debra Connors said that as parents "we especially appreciate the importance of providing financial aid to needy students. That this fund will make the difference in enabling an outstanding young man or woman to attend Boston College gives us a great deal of satisfaction."

Terry Granahan, the Office of Development's director of principal gifts, said, "We are very grateful for the Connors's generosity and loyalty."

Timothy Connors, who holds a bachelor of science in accounting, is the president and chief executive officer of the television network ITN, Inc., in New York City. Debra Connors earned a bachelor of arts in elementary special education from the Lynch School of Education.
