On Monday, Sep 8th, I headed to the Convention Center to check out the College Night event. This is the time of year when colleges and universities set up booths for high schools students and their parents to check out the different college options.

As I walked into the Rabobank Center I immediately spotted the prominent sign We are BC along with red and white balloons.  And then came the resounding We are BC from our cheer team.  The BC spirit was alive and well and as Lisa Kent noted: “BC had a vast and spirited presence and I was honored to be a part of something so inspiring!”

Over 100 colleges and universities and approximately 7,000 students/parents participated in the program.  And thanks to Steve Watkin, BC was represented in all its red and white glory.
