Fall 2021 is off to a great start!

I hope you all have gotten back into your fall routines and that classes are going smoothly.

These last weeks have been challenging at BUC, with COVID-19 cases emerging for the first time here. We are working with the risk-management team to ensure the continued safety of students, faculty and staff. Stay patient and follow all safety protocols.

I want to share with you that Dean Holly Craider will be at BUC one day a month. She can meet with you and connect with students. This month, she will be here Wednesday, Oct. 6 from 9 -11:30 a.m. On that same day, we will host "Donuts with the Dean" between 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. Share this with your students and pop in for donuts.

I'd also like to remind you that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I encourage you to wear pink and help fight for a cure for this disease, which affects both women and men. There are many fundraisers you can support.

October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

As we keep these significant causes in mind, remember to do something nice for someone, and that one act of kindness can make a tremendous difference in a person's life.

Finally, go apple or pumpkin picking, take a nice walk around the neighborhood, and have a nice cup of apple cider or your favorite pumpkin-spice latte. I hope you and your families enjoy a happy and safe Halloween.

All the best,
Jenneffer Lopez, Ed.D.
