ALL STUDENTS
As you walk down the hallway, have you ever heard international students talking in Chinese? Do you want to know what they are talking about? Americans like to get tattoos with Chinese characters but do you know what they mean? Chinese is gradually becoming more and more important in the world. In this globalized 21st century, you should learn some Chinese because one-sixth of the world's population speaks Chinese. Now's your chance! Join the "Triple C" (Chinese Culture Club). You'll not only learn to speak Chinese but also to write calligraphy and share our culture with you. Our first meeting will be on Tuesday, October 21st at 2:45 Ms. Diaz's room 29E in the Seminary building. Come join us, it will be a lot of fun!
Don't Forget! The Ping pong Club is meeting every Thursday in the cafeteria from 2:45 to 4:00. Come join the fun.
Faculty, Staff and Students,
As you may or may not know, there is an upcoming general election that is less than a month away. Due to the fact that a considerable percentage of you (excluding adults) are under the age of eighteen, you will be unable to vote in the election. In lieu of general election where most of you cannot vote, BBA is hosting its own Mock Election, where everybody can vote. Here is a little information on how things are going to work. First of all, you cannot just show up to vote. Like the real world, you have to register first before you can vote. Registration will start on Monday the 20th and will finish on Friday the 24th. The following week on Tuesday, October 28 we will hold our election day. We would like to see 100% turnout. Stay tuned for updates on where and how to register and more information on Mock Election Day.
