Sports are one of the biggest aspects of Boston College life, whether it be playing them, watching them, or even writing about them. So it only makes sense that one of BC's graduates would go on to dedicate his career to writing about sports; a career that has met with much success. This 1974 BC graduate is Mike Lupica.
On Nov. 27, The Heights, along with the Office of Public Affairs and the BC Alumni Association, will host "Talking Sports with Mike Lupica: BC and Beyond" in the Heights Room in Corcoran Commons at 7 p.m. The event will be moderated by Heights Sports Editor Jeffrey Weinstein.
"It's our pleasure to host this event with Mr. Lupica," Weinstein said. "He's a man who is one of BC's most distinguished alumni."
Currently a regular columnist for Travel + Leisure Golf, Lupica's journalistic accomplishments are as numerous as they are diverse. He began covering sports at BC as a staff writer for The Heights. After graduating from BC, Lupica went on to write for Esquire magazine, Golf Digest, Parade, ESPN the Magazine, and Men's Journal, receiving numerous awards, including the Jim Murray Award in 2003 from the National Football Foundation. He has since written 16 books, including co-written biographies with Reggie Jackson and Bill Parcels, as well as a plethora of children's books and novels.
"We're really excited to have Mike Lupica as our guest," said Heights Editor-in-Chief Patrick Fouhy. "His experience in journalism will make for great conversation and an engaging event."
