Dear Eagles,
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving break! You are now in the home stretch! First, however, make sure you take some time to get into the holiday spirit! There are several festivities happening this week including the Christmas tree lighting tomorrow, Deck the Heights events with CAB, and the BC Bands Christmas Festival concert. I encourage you to check out the BC Marching Band video here!
Looking a bit farther ahead, we are already starting to plan for Marathon Monday. The Office of Student Involvement is seeking your feedback on what type of artist you would like to come to campus. Be sure to fill out this form.
Speaking of surveys, as you know, the Student Experience Survey is open. You will receive your own personalized survey link tomorrow morning in your inbox; please keep a lookout and use that link from your BC email account to access the survey. I highly encourage you to take some time and participate in this voluntary, yet very important campus-wide initiative.
Sincerely,
Dr. Shawna Cooper Whitehead
Vice President for Student Affairs
