Campus update for June 2, 2020
June 2, 2020
Dear students,
President Bahls sent you a message yesterday about the racial justice protests that are going on now. In case you missed it, here's a summary:
1. Å·ÖÞ±ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø firmly believes human life is a valuable gift from God, and that means Black Lives Matter.
2. Å·ÖÞ±ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø is committed to providing its students with the skill of critical thinking and understanding the viewpoints of others.
3. Å·ÖÞ±ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø should be a leader in promoting racial justice.
Here is the complete text, "Courageously stand up against injustice."
Faculty and staff want to offer you congratulations for persevering through a challenging semester! "Pat yourself on the back for making it this far, take care and have a great summer!"
Today's updates:
? We remain committed to Augie Choice. All eligible students may apply for a grant of up to $2,000 to support a qualifying, high-impact learning experience: internship, research or study away.
Use the $2,000 waiting for you! The staff in CORE will help you find meaningful opportunities in the academic year ahead.
? President Steve Bahls has extended his contract with the college through May 2022.
? The Mailing Center will be open from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday in June.
