Family Of Man Killed In 2013 Relieved After Guilty Verdict
A family has been waiting eight and a half years for justice and says now they have it.
A Tulsa jury found Vicky McNeely guilty of shooting and killing her husband, Dan, at their Owasso home in 2013. The trial got delayed over and over, for years, but it went in front of a jury this week. Not only to have it be over but to get the verdict we did and the justice that we did, I just don t even have words,” said Nash.

In her four years at Boston University, Archelle Thelemaque (COM’21) has amassed an impressive list of accomplishments, among them three stints as a student government officer, being a Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground student ambassador, and interning at global public relations firm Ketchum PR. And that only begins to scratch the surface.
Now the Posse scholar can add one more accolade: this Sunday, she’ll address more than 3,000 members of the undergrad Class of 2021 as the student speaker at BU’s 148th Commencement.
The PR major and Georgia native will share the stage with the undergraduate ceremony’s main speaker, US Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), who will receive an honorary degree. (Moderna chairman and cofounder Noubar Afeyan, also receiving an honorary degree, will be the speaker at that morning’s graduate student ceremony.)

Bust out the Bloody Mary mix and the mimosas this year, the Senior Breakfast has become the Senior Brunch. The festivities begin at 1 pm sharp.
The annual event predates Warren Towers, the GSU, and Walter Brown Arena and marks the official start of Commencement celebrations and Senior Week. This year’s later start time was designed to better accommodate students studying and living in different time zones.
This year, BU’s annual Senior Breakfast became Senior Brunch.
On Friday, April 30, the Class of 2021 tuned in to the Zoom ceremony to toast one another and officially kick off Commencement 2021 festivities.
And, of course, to find out who this year’s Commencement speaker would be. Because there will be two separate ceremonies on Commencement day, May 16 one for grad students and another for graduating seniors word came that there will be two speakers: US Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), a trailblazing politician who briefly attended Boston University, will be the speaker at the afternoon undergraduate ceremony, and Noubar Afeyan, cofounder and chairman of Moderna Therapeutics, Inc., will address students at the morning graduate ceremony.

Boston University students gathered virtually Tuesday night to discuss how the administration is handling sexual assault cases and what steps the campus community needs to take to better support survivors. Titled #BUHasAProblem, the event was organized and moderated by the College of Arts & Sciences Student Government, and it came two weeks after more than 600 students fanned out across the Charles River Campus, with posters and chalk, on February 7 to raise awareness of campus sexual assaults and make five demands of the administration.
