Neil Mahoney
Neil Mahoney (DGE’58, SED’63) of San Rafael, Calif., published The Harvard Square Mob (Outskirts Press, 2017), which he wrote after spending six weeks doing research on the Harvard campus. The fictional account is inspired by a screenplay he wrote as a young man. Neil also has master’s degrees in interdisciplinary studies in education and in counseling psychology and a doctorate in public policy. For 25 years, he worked at Landmark Education as chair of faculty, and for 15 years he was the principal of Golden Gate Consulting. “I love BU!” he writes. “I served on the board of DGE for 10 years. As a young man from Roxbury’s Mission Hill housing project, I attended DGE on the GI Bill (Korean War), and that gave me the education to start a very productive life. Without BU, none of my own life story would have been possible.”
