Dear Eagles,
A new week in The Heights brings new opportunities, so my top picks include the Dean of Students photo contest for the #BCaring campaign, Wellfest hosted by the Center for Student Wellness, and our Student Affairs Open House. Our Office of Residential Life is also seeking RA applicants, if this interests you, I encourage you to apply by November 1st.
Finally, C21's 11th annual Espresso Your Faith Week begins this Sunday. Espresso You Faith Week is an annual campus wide celebration of faith. I encourage you to take some time to check out the many programs and events happening for this signature BC program.
Yours in Community,
Dr. Shawna Cooper Whitehead
