Summers are a restful time for many, and certainly faculty and staff alike use the summer months to rest and rejuvenation. But we’ve also been preparing for students to return to campus and start the fall semester. This issue of Bridgewater Magazine shares news of our alumni friends and the accomplishments of our students, but it also tells the story of the public launch of our Connections Campaign and the ways we seek to strengthen the educational experience here at BC.
