Dear Eagles,
We have a busy month of March ahead! First, we are celebrating Women’s History Month (view the full calendar below), and the Career Center is hosting several sessions, beginning with the Communications, Arts, and Marketing networking night. Be sure to also browse our upcoming academic events listed below.
Mile 21 is fast approaching! We are still accepting runner entries via our form so we can cheer you on; and please keep an eye out for exciting announcements regarding the day. Finally, be sure to support our women’s lacrosse team this week, and check out BC Dining’s new March calendar.
