I can't believe that it is August already. The summer has really flown by fast! I'm currently back at home in New York this week on vacation but still plugging away on a number of initiatives. Before we know it people will be moving in and classes will be starting for the 2009-2010 academic year. As I said, this summer is going by fast, but there are still a few good weeks left to get some stuff done as well as to enjoy the time off. Here are some brief updates
Athletics
Cancer Awareness Campaign
I just got the green light today to proceed with a partnership with BC Athletics to implement a year long cancer awareness campaign. The campaign will include a number of fundraisers to support cancer research, a potential "gold out" during a home football game, events, a video as well as other marketing and multimedia types of materials to raise awareness about cancer and the affects it has on our community at Boston College. The hope for this is for everyone to see just to see how much this disease affects all of us but also to join in solidarity with one another to offer support and love to conquer this disease. This will be a huge project which will require a lot of support and help, so if you are interested in helping with this or if you have done events like this before we would love to have your help. E-mail me at alalex2009 at gmail.com or alexander.dea.1 at bc .edu.
Athletics 101
We currently are putting together Athletics 101, a Pep Rally for BC sports which will take place on Friday 9/4 at 6PM in Conte Forum. Come out to show your support for BC Athletics and for free giveaways.
Programming
Fall Concert
We are still shoring up this and hopefully should have an announcement coming within the next few weeks. Keep checking the blog for up to date information!
Event Management Committee
As promised, we are putting together an event management committee of BC students to help us prepare and break down from our large scale events. An email should be going out concerning this in weeks to come but if this is something you might be interested in, especially if you have ever programmed or helped out at a previous school please contact me and we'll try to hook you up.
Quidditch
Yup, that's right! Kathleen Iannone (A&S '11, Director of Campus Outreach) is currently planning a UGBC Quidditch tournament, brooms included. We are slating this to be during one of the Sunday's in October, hopefully on the Bapst lawn to make it as Harry Potter-esque as possible. We will need volunteers, so if you're interested let us know!
Advising
I've spent most of my time this week putting together an action plan for our work to improve advising. Improving advising will be our biggest goal for the year. We will be holding a number of focus groups and meetings to discuss this and we need your help! If you have thoughts or stories about advising at BC then we need to hear from you! Contact me ASAP if you are interested and we can talk!
Social Media
Lastly, if you haven't already, follow us on Twitter!
Our usernames are
@adea11
@ugbc
@ugbc0910
That's all I got. Hope to hear from you soon and enjoy the last few weeks of summer!
