Dear Eagles,
Today marks the launch of BCaring Week on campus! A week where we encourage our community to embrace our Jesuit mission of living in service to others and acting as agents of positive change. This week invites all Eagles to embrace respect and care across our community. With Halloween on Friday, BCaring Week also serves as a timely reminder to celebrate responsibly, be considerate of our neighbors, and look out for one another both on and off campus.
Beyond BCaring Week, remember to register for the Career Center’s Endeavor program, open now for sophomore and junior students exploring career paths and connections! And while you are at it, fill out the Student Experience Survey. You could win prizes like hockey tickets, bookstore gift cards, Showdown tickets, and more!
As the fall sports season winds down, take some time to cheer on our Eagles and celebrate the heart of BC spirit. Let us keep the care going, on the Heights and beyond.
Yours in Community,
Dr. Shawna Cooper Whitehead
