In this episode of the Always a Raven podcast, host Janelle Menz sits down with Dr. John Dolan, lifelong educator, devoted father and grandfather, and proud graduate Raven from the class of 1981. John’s career has been shaped by faith, mentorship, and a commitment to community.
John’s journey with Benedictine College began as a student influenced by coaches and professors who saw potential in him before he did. From completing his degree to becoming a director of admissions for Benedictine, his path demonstrates the transformative power of guidance, perseverance, and purpose. Today, John applies those lessons as he leads Saint Mary’s School in Boston, helping students and families thrive in a mission-driven, faith-centered environment.
Through heartfelt stories of mentorship, family, and the enduring connections that define the Raven community, John’s story reminds us that the Benedictine experience extends far beyond the campus.
