In mid-November, students packed hundreds of shoeboxes with donated supplies such as toys, notebooks, and colored pencils. It’s part of Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child, which sends gifts to kids affected by war, poverty, famine, or natural disasters. The effort at BAC is run by senior Marvellous Okonne, who is from Southern Nigeria and received a shoebox when he was 8 years old.
In the midst of the pandemic, the downward momentum for many four-year colleges and universities has continued to accelerate. Less than half of current high school students plan to pursue college when they graduate. In contrast, small Catholic colleges have seen an uptick in their numbers during this period of national decline.
Our very own Dr. Joseph Wysocki, Dean of the Honors College at BAC, recently discussed the life and works of Tocqueville in partnership with the Classical Learning Test (CLT). The webinar is part of CLT’s “Through the Author Bank” seminar series.
