Dear Eagles, Congratulations to my fellow BC marathon runners, we did it! It proved to be a perfect day for running, and it was an honor to participate with all of you. Also, a special shoutout to the #BCMile21 participants for joining us in celebrating the runners. April closes with some exciting programming including a callout for the Career Center Summer Praxis
program, the last week of Grad Appreciation Month, and the annual Boston College Arts Festival! I encourage you to support and celebrate all the amazing talent across campus. View the complete schedule of events. I would also like to put in a final plug for the McNair Scholars Program which is still accepting applications. Sincerely,
Dr. Shawna Cooper-Gibson
Vice President for Student Affairs
