The Power of Thank You
We had a great time celebrating the Class of 2024 at Monday’s Commencement ceremony. BU President ad interim Ken Freeman was our keynote speaker. He spoke powerfully about three lessons: just say “yes”; arrogance kills; and the power of “Thank you!”. 他以自己40年商业生涯中的个人轶事来说明这三条经验. In exploring the third, he asked, “When a person says ‘Thank you!’ to you, do you appreciate it? Do you know anyone that doesn’t appreciate receiving a heartfelt ‘Thank you!’ for their efforts?” In a touching moment, he asked our seniors, seated closely together in rows on the stage, to turn to a classmate and say “Thank you!” for their friendship and support during their time at bbin娱乐平台. At this time of year, I find myself grateful for many things, but particularly for my colleagues on the faculty and staff. I’d like to say... More

Our Seniors
As the calendar flips to May, 我想了很多BBIN集团官方网站的前辈和他们给这个社区带来的一切. We started together – they and I – in the height of the pandemic. Smiling behind masks and sitting six feet apart, they forged friendships that will last well beyond their time at bbin娱乐平台. 他们在失去一位深爱的老师的过程中相互支持，他们中的许多人都把他铭记在心. 他们的对手带来了奖杯，更重要的是，他们把我们团结在了一起. As seniors, they have made it their mission to deepen that community spirit. Part of their legacy will be a new tradition they, along with younger peers on Student Council, lovingly named the Federal Bureau of Intrepids (FBI) – a yearlong competition involving all students across the four grades; students are assigned to one of eight color teams, which vie for...

I closed my laptop screen, stood up, and found ten students seated around the room. 他们手里拿着画笔，面前的托盘上放着调色板，低头全神贯注... More
