Dear Eagles,
As we head into October, our campus community continues to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, including Latinx Family weekend kicking off at the end of this week!
The Career Center is offering several opportunities: a Career Trek to Partners Health this Friday, the continuation of its Tech Series, and the Endeavor application for sophomores and juniors opens soon. There is also much to look forward to, with the Murray Center for Student Wellness hosting a painting night on Friday, Oct. 2, and Mental Health Fest is right around the corner.
Finally, there are plenty of academic and arts events happening, including the McMullen Museum’s Trivia Night, the BC Theater department's first production, and a panel discussion on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey this Thursday 10/1 at 4:30 p.m. in Gasson 100.
I hope you have a great week ahead!
Sincerely,
Dr. Corey Kelly,
Vice President for Student Affairs

Robsham Theater Arts Center
Henrik Ibsen’s play, An Enemy of the People, written in 1882, rings as true today as it did over a century ago. Dr. Stockmann, a respected physician and scientist, has discovered that the town’s famed medicinal health spa is being fed by poisoned waters. Instead of being thanked for his findings, the mayor, local businessmen, and the press cry “Fake News,” denounce his story, and put a positive spin on the benefits of the health resort.
