I want to take this opportunity to wish each and every member of the BCC family a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

The short respite will hopefully give each of us an opportunity to reflect on the blessings of family and friends. I know Mary Jo and I are looking forward to sharing turkey and trimmings as we give thanks with our grandchildren.

Please know I am especially grateful for the many new acquaintances I have made at BCC and thank each of you for your warmth and support, and for all the good work you do for our students and the community. I look forward to sharing with you in the many campus celebrations of student and staff accomplishment during the holiday season ahead.

Again, happy Thanksgiving.

John Deans

Interim President
