Dear Eagles,
Congratulations-you are one week into another great semester! I hope you are settling into campus life on the Heights and gearing up for some of the awesome events and activities we have planned for you!
My top picks for this week include the Taste of Off Campus, the Volunteer and Service Learning Fair, Mass of the Holy Spirit and First Year Convocation. I also highlight our newly formed Dean of Students Office, and the Center for Student Wellness.
Don't worry if you missed the Student Involvement Fair last Friday, you can still connect with student organizations and check out opportunities to get involved or attend upcoming events through the Office of Student Involvement's engagement platform MyBC.
