Dear Eagles,
Happy first day of fall! With cooler weather and changing leaves slowly approaching, it is a great time to join in the many celebrations happening on campus.
As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, join us today for a Taste of Latin America in our Maloney Hall fourth-floor reception area. This week also marks C21's 13th annual Espresso Your Faith Week, a BC tradition celebrating the ways God works in our lives. Also, happy Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate. See below for a special menu BC Dining has prepared.
Additional highlights include a conversation with former United States Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns '78, who will share reflections on leadership and global challenges, the McMullen Museum's Visual Trivia Night on the Terrace, and Deans and Donuts.
Finally, it’s Family Weekend! We hope you enjoy time with your loved ones on campus, from the tailgate and football game to other activities planned.
Celebrate, connect, and have a great weekend together.
Yours in Community,
Dr. Shawna Cooper Whitehead

McMullen Museum of Art
Visual Trivia Night on the Terrace
The McMullen has again gathered a series of pop culture trivia questions on everything from advertising, fashion, sports, anatomy, movies, politics, and—you guessed it—art, and transformed them into visual questions presented on a large screen outdoors. So yeah, we know you could probably pick out a Taylor Swift song if we played it on the PA, but could you give us the titles of her albums if we gave you the cover art? What if we showed you a series of skylines? Would you be able to name the cities?
