Dear Eagles,
A new week in The Heights brings new opportunities, so my top picks include the Dean of Students photo contest for the #BCaring campaign, Wellfest, and our Student Affairs Open House.
We also have some exciting university-wide planning underway for Homecoming Week, October 23-28. Part of this, includes the selection of this year's Homecoming Court for which we are seeking seniors who embody the mission, spirit and values of Boston College. If this opportunity speaks to you, I encourage you to apply! See below for further details.
Finally, C21's 11th annual Espresso Your Faith Week begins this Sunday. Espresso You Faith Week is an annual campus wide celebration of faith. Take some time to check out the many programs and events happening for this signature program.
Yours in Community,
Dr. Shawna Cooper Whitehead
