Dear Eagles, November marks Native American Heritage month. This is an opportunity to take time to reflect, recognize, and educate yourself about the history, culture, strength, and resilience of Native Americans, and their continued influence as the first inhabitants of this land. Here are some resources and ways to get involved in Boston. This week also brings Career Week in the Arts and Entertainment, Love Your Body Week, and International Education Week, all of which have a number of programs and events planned. This Tuesday at 12:00 p.m. is our Caring for Our Community Webinar sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs and BCPD. I encourage you to attend to learn more about important policies and procedures related to sexual assault, bias motivated incidents, alcohol use and student mental health. This webinar is open to the entire Boston College community. Sincerely, Dr. Shawna Cooper-Gibson Division of Student Affairs Highlights In collaboration with the BC Career Center, Alumni Center, and the McMullen Museum of Art, the BC Arts Council will host Career Week in the Arts + Entertainment.
