Dear Eagles, There is a lot going on this week! Foremost, if you are a first year student consider signing up for the Sophomore Living Experience. It is a great opportunity to make new friends, get a head start on housing selection, and guaranteed placement in Walsh! Next up, the Office of Student Involvement's Leadership Day is on January 27. There is still time to sign up and hear from classmates about their leadership experiences and build greater connections across the BC community. If you are interested in learning more about study abroad opportunities, Global Engagement is hosting a Study Abroad Fair this Wednesday, and Deans and Donuts starts up again on Friday. Lastly, stay tuned for a full calendar of events in celebration of Black History Month including the Opening Ceremony on February 1! See details below.
