Dear Class of 2026,
Happy first day of classes! I hope you enjoyed getting to know the Heights this past weekend and are geared up for your first fall semester at BC.
As you begin to settle into campus life, there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved including the Student Involvement Fair this Friday, Taste of Off-Campus, Convocation, and more. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to login into MyBC which will connect you with student organizations and their events and download the CORQ app. Be sure to also keep a lookout for my weekly communications each Monday morning where I share updates, Student Affairs resources and programs, and campus partner events.
I know settling into college life can be exciting yet overwhelming. If you have questions, need assistance or would like to discuss something, please do not
hesitate to contact me or any of our departments. I also hold open office hours most Fridays from 3:00-5:00 p.m. in Maloney 412, so drop by and say hello!
Sincerely,
Dr. Shawna Cooper Whitehead
Vice President for Student Affairs
