E227 - Red Bandanna Leadership Fellow: Living Welles Crowther’s Legacy

In this episode of Discover Boston College, host George Kaparis ’27 speaks with John O’Keeffe ’26 about the new Red Bandanna Leadership Fellow program and the enduring legacy of Welles Crowther. John describes the cohort’s retreat, the powerful moment of meeting Welles’ mother, and how themes like courage, commitment, and servant leadership are being translated into on-campus action projects. This conversation explores how a symbol — the red bandanna — became a campus-wide reminder to “be a person for others,” and why the annual Red Bandanna Game brings the BC community together to reflect, remember, and recommit.
