Professor Charles F. Smith, Jr. joined Boston College in 1968 as an instructor of social studies methods and director of the Teacher Corps Program, which was part of a national effort

work. He also organized and chaired the Association of Black Faculty, Staff and Administrators, as well as the Council of Black Faculty.
