Wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are able to relax and enjoy some well-deserved downtime this week, and take a moment to reflect on all that we have to be grateful for. For those of you staying on campus, please note that BC Dining has put together a special menu for you.
Next week, our holiday festivities will officially begin with the Christmas tree lighting! You will also have the chance to catch “A Christmas Carol," a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.
