The Graduate Outcomes are an important part of the BCEC and BCCI culture. Each month, we take some time at our All-School Meetings to recognize students who have been good examples of one of the Graduate Outcomes. This month, we are focusing on students who have been effective communicators in their classes and with their peers. Students who have been recognized are given a "gotcha slip" on our GO bulletin board. We look forward to recognizing these students next month!!!
