Meet Your Chapter Leader


Minnesota Chapter Leader Roshan Rajkumar

Roshan Rajkumar ’95

Lives in: Twin Cities

Major: Political Science and Theology

Occupation: Trial Attorney - Civil Defense Litigation

Favorite BC Memory: Serving Senior year Spring Break in Kingston, Jamaica with the Ignacio Volunteers. It was life changing and hit home why a Boston College education was priceless.

Why I got involved: I loved my undergraduate experience on the Heights, and believe by doing so I stay connected with BC. Being part of the alumni leadership in Minnesota has kept me grounded in my BC education, life-lessons learned, and the virtue of men and women in service for others. The number of amazing BC alumni, students and parents I have met has truly enriched my journey since leaving the Heights.

Local Favorites: With 10,000+ lakes, my favorite remains Lake of the Isles (Minneapolis). My favorite restaurant is 112 Eatery. My favorite patio is W.R. Frosts (St. Paul). My favorite hobbies are singing in the Basilica Cathedral Choir and teaching/playing tennis.

Fun Fact: My wife grew up in South Bend, Indiana, and loves Notre Dame, though she is a Purdue Boilermaker. We have a house divided during BC v. ND games.
