Dear Eagles,
As the holiday season approaches, this week is filled with excellent opportunities to pause, give thanks, and celebrate early! BC Dining is hosting a Friendsgiving Dinner on Wednesday, and Campus Ministry will hold its annual multi-faith Thanksgiving celebration on Thursday. Furthermore, graduate students can participate in Graduate Student Life's month-long social media campaign dedicated to expressing Gratitude.
Additional highlights include "The Course That Changed my Life," on November 19 and a lecture from the McMullen Museum of Art offering insight into Impressionistic Landscape.
Finally, if you have not done so already, please take a moment to complete the Student Experience Survey. Your input helps shape our community for the better and as an added incentive, you have a chance to win prizes.
Yours in Community,
