Dear Eagles,
Happy Halloween! I hope you enjoyed the wonderful fall weather this past weekend. My top picks this week include Wellness Kits offered by the Center for Student Wellness and Togetherall, a new online community that provides resources to improve mental health and support the wellbeing of students
With midterms around the corner, I remind you that BC has a partnership with TurboVote. If you have not done so already, I encourage you to sign up for this free service that offers information on how to register to vote, absentee ballot information, and reminders on upcoming elections.
Finally, before the Football game, First-Gen Week continues with a kick-off at 4 p.m. in lower campus. Be sure to also join the Dean of Students Office for cider donuts Friday morning.
Sincerely,
Dr. Shawna Cooper Whitehead

Community Radio Stations, Indigenous Freedom of Expression and Cultural Rights Speaker Event
Thursday, November 3 at 12:00 pm to 1:15pm | McElroy 237
The Maya Kaqchikel of Sumpango and other indigenous communities in Guatemala suffer the violation of their right to freedom of expression and cultural rights due to the legal barriers to accessing radio frequencies and operating community radio stations. The Inter-American Court ruled in its favor ordering the State to give them access to radio frequencies, compensation, and even to change existing telecommunications legislation - reparations that, however, are still waiting to be realized.
