LOOK FOR BSC MAGAZINE IN THE SPRING

The start of a new year is a natural time to make a change, so we are jumping right in by making changes to our BSC publication. We currently publish Connections four times a year, sharing all of the great things happening on campus, at the BSC Foundation and by alumni in the community and beyond. Here is the exciting part: while our publication will continue to be mailed quarterly, Connections will focus on the Foundation and Alumni Association activities exclusively. You’ll receive it as a standalone piece twice a year and as a section of our new, larger and more robust BSC Magazine two times a year.

The magazine will allow us to bring you more in-depth feature stories and full-color photo spreads, in addition to BSC news and our alumni and Foundation highlights. We look forward to delivering the first BSC Magazine to you in spring 2015.
