. . . BU Office of Distance Education

My name is Deb Dangelo and I will soon be finishing up my Bachelor of Liberal Studies in Interdisciplinary Studies as part of BU’s online Undergrad Degree Completion Program. I was fortunate to attend 2010 Commencement where I finally met some of my classmates face to face—it was a real thrill for me. I am actually planning to pursue a Master’s Degree in Finance online from Boston University as well — my application’s already in!

In my spare time I love to cook and spend quality time with my husband, Jack, friends, and family. My family also consists of three dogs—Jerry Lee, Sunny, and Gracie—as well as a crow, Eddie Van Raven, who loves to eat mild cheddar cheese!  I am breast cancer survivor and am deeply committed to raising awareness. I have had the honor of being a part of several Brighton Power of Pink national campaigns for breast cancer awareness.

Being a UDCP student has taught me so much. It’s really a 21^st century education which will make it possible for each of us to compete in a unique environment that many are not familiar with. My experience has been great. In our online classes I got to actually engage in the work with so many people from all around the country and around the globe whom I got to meet and know intimately.

Many of my classmates now feel like old friends. Meeting them in person was magical and fantastic—we all have this connection that has bonded us for life. I am looking forward to continuing my connections with my classmates at other BU events in the future.
