Alumni and the Public Help BBSR Celebrate 100 Years |
The highlight of BBSR's centennial year was an alumni reunion weekend in August, which included a symposium, field trips, social
gatherings and the 100th Birthday Open House. More than 300 people attended the reunion celebrations, and 3,000 members of the public joined BBSR's staff, alumni and volunteers for the open day.
The reunion attendees have formed a new alumni association, which is reaching out to former BBSR faculty, staff, students, interns and volunteers. For more information or to become a member of the
association, please e-mail Audrey Pope at
apope(at)bbsr.edu or call (441) 297-1880 extension 206. |
