BOSTON - Tuesday, February 16, 2016 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced that William Morales has been appointed Commissioner of theBoston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF), which provides vital resources to Boston's youth and senior populations.
"William has worked tirelessly for over 20 years to make sure Boston's children and teenagers are getting the care, attention and services they need every day," said Mayor Walsh. "His commitment to his community is astounding, and his strong leadership and compassion for all residents, from our youth to our elders, will continue to benefit the people of the City of Boston. I welcome him to our team and look forward to working together for the future of our City."
In his role as Commissioner, Morales will serve within Mayor Walsh's Health and Human Services Cabinet and will oversee many of the key functions and programs of BCYF, including an array of out-of-school-time programs, elderly and family-centered programs, recreational activities, youth violence prevention and intervention efforts that connect at-risk youth to services and youth employment opportunities. BCYF is in every neighborhood in the city, and Morales will be responsible for coordinating cross-site programming between the centers that serve residents of all ages and circumstances.
"As a native of Boston who personally saw and felt remarkable change in my community thanks to youth-driven programs and institutions, I am honored to have been named as Commissioner of BCYF," said Morales. "The youth and families of Boston are incredibly important, and I will do my best to serve their needs and interests in any way I can."
Morales is currently the Executive Director of the historic Boston YMCA Achievers Branch of the YMCA of Greater Boston, and has oversight of the Egleston Square Youth Teen Center. He oversees the continued growth of both programs, which addresses the comprehensive needs of teens within Roxbury and surrounding communities by offering a wide variety of programming, including discussion groups, sports, recreation, arts, and educational enrichment opportunities, to prepare teens to transition into college and successful careers pathways.
During his tenure at the YMCA, Will was instrumental in advocating for older active adults (seniors) and he helped secure resources for the Roxbury YMCA Seniors on the Move program.
"The YMCA applauds Mayor Walsh's appointment of YMCA leader Will Morales," said James Morton, President and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Boston. "Will's deep understanding and concern for Boston's people and neighborhoods will ensure that he puts people first as the leader of BCYF."
A native of Roxbury, William has a longstanding passion for serving the Boston youth community; he is also a local youth trauma responder working at times with the Boston Police Department, and the BCYF Streetworkers to address area violence. William previously worked as the Senior Director at Wheelock College where he founded the Office of Community Partnerships & Programs, he also served as the Chief Operations Officer of Youth Enrichment Services.
Additionally, Chris Byner will serve as Deputy Commissioner of Programming of BCYF and Michael Sulpizio will serve as Deputy Commissioner of Operations and Finance.
"I have worked with Will on many different projects over the years and I am so excited to have him join our team at BCYF," said Chris Byner, Interim Executive Director of Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF). "He will be an invaluable asset in guiding BCYF in our critical efforts to support Boston's children and families."
Morales graduated from Springfield College with a B.S. in criminal justice and currently working towards attaining his M.B.A in management from Cambridge College. Morales is expected to begin on Monday, March 7th, 2016.

北大、復旦校友紐約攜手迎新春
忘却纽约寒冷，共度温暖新春——
“未名春晓•相辉晨曦”北大复旦校友会2016纽约春节联欢晚会
2016年2月13日周六晚，零下十六度的寒潮丝毫没有减弱大年初六的新春暖意，近四百位校友如约而至，在纽约拥有157年历史的地标建筑圣使徒教堂(The Church of the Holy Apostles)中，“未名春晓•相辉晨曦”北大复旦校友会纽约春节联欢晚会拉开了序幕。
燕南园的常青藤爬满整墙，光华大道的香樟树绿了又黄。百年纪念讲坛的钟声仍在耳畔，三一零八教室的回响铭刻于心。时值新春佳节，“未名春晓•相辉晨曦” 春节联欢晚会让漂泊在外的两校校友们会相聚一堂。一南一北的两所院校，于2016猴年新春在大洋彼岸共同谱写的崭新乐章。
校友们纷纷在北大未名湖博雅塔，和复旦曦园老校门的背景墙前留下自己的美丽靓影。在欢快的节日气氛中，旧友新朋推杯换盏，谈天说地。勾起学生时代回忆的美味佳肴就首先征服了校友们思乡的胃。餐饮组精心准备的食堂菜单，让老、中、青三代校友一同重温了美好的校园时光。
晚会开始前，北京大学大纽约校友会理事长叶曦和复旦大学美国校友会会长杨光，分别代表两校校友会致欢迎辞。
“学术独立思想自由， 政罗教网无羁绊。”
“红楼飞雪，一时英杰。忆昔长别，阳关千叠。”

晚会的最后是舞会环节，在北大校友赵智沉和郭秋含的指导下，男士们彬彬有礼地邀请女伴进入舞池，动人的舞姿不仅为整场晚会画上了温暖而又华丽的句号，更为第二天即将到来的2.14情人节埋下了甜蜜的伏笔。

新媒体助增凝聚力 南加州安徽乡亲齐聚一堂迎新年
新媒体助增凝聚力 南加州安徽乡亲齐聚一堂迎新年
由全美安徽学者学生联合会主办的猴年新春团聚，2月6日晚在洛杉矶柯维纳市举办，来自南加州各地的安徽籍乡亲齐聚一堂，喜迎新春佳节的到来。乡亲们互致新年问候，唱黄梅戏、发红包，猜灯谜发奖品。近二百位乡亲出席了当天的活动，为历年来南加州地区安徽籍侨胞人数最多的一次活动。
来宾全部都是安徽籍的乡亲，既有从创会开始的老朋友，也有刚刚加入的新朋友。热烈的现场气氛，源自大部分乡亲们都已基本互相认识，但主要的原因是因为微信群这个新媒体平台。
据了解，安徽学者会的微信群人数已经过百人，为全美最大的两个安徽乡亲群之一。人员全部是安徽籍的乡亲，或者是曾经在安徽工作和学习过的朋友，每当有新朋友加入，既有介绍人，也会向群内的朋友作自我介绍，虽未见面，但也已经通过群内的交流有了初步的了解。还有多年未见的老友，也通过群内又重新联系上了。见了面自然有聊不完的话题和惊喜。
据全美安徽学者学生联合会会长孙旭东介绍，群内不乏知名教授、学者，也有新来洛杉矶的留学生，群内人员构成主轴就是安徽，大家平时既分享工作和生活中的点滴，也经常传递来自家乡的信息和历史文化典故。
新媒体在海外华人社区中展现了有效的凝聚力，活动时间、地点、活动内容、程序，都提前在群内群策群力，确定好后，大家积极报名参加。正是有了积极的早期参与，所以当天的活动，才出现了踊跃参加的盛况。
知名骨科医生陈有刚、知名精神科医生杨军当天都有繁忙的工作日程，但是都不愿错过与乡亲们团聚的机会。安徽籍的华裔知名数学家刘晓雁教授每年都带校内的访问学者参加活动，去年是来自安徽大学的老师，今年是来自合肥工业大学的一家，曹银霞博士也带来了来自安徽师大的访问学者。在洛杉矶美术培训界有较高知名度的汪薇老师，和姐姐以及知名学者卢军的黄梅戏片断，赢得全场掌声一片。安徽学者学生群的管理员凌云的协调力和效率，以及任劳任怨的服务，也广为乡亲们交口称赞。
会长和副会长们出钱出力，也令乡亲们感动。他们捐款为儿童和留学生们支付费用，发放红包。当天猜灯谜，将安徽各地市县名几乎全部包括，每个猜中者都有奖品，大量的奖品由南加州知名华裔企业家赵国庆、王希萌、琚贻春等提供。全美中华青年联合会会长任向东表示，每次活动都能让乡亲们尽兴，感受到浓浓的乡情，这应该是全美安徽学者学生联合会每年的新春团聚，越来越兴旺、越来人越多的关键原因。（AACYF洛杉矶讯）
