Today the BCSL staff gathered in Wilder 215 (with baklava from the recently opened Aladdin's that is replacing Java Zone) for good conversation, good people, and good food (Agave!). We used the time to reflect on what the BCSL does well and what we would like to improve on in the context of the BCSL strategic plan, which included looking at what cool community service related things other colleges and universities are doing across the nation. We also talked about listening and the importance of dialog in light of the recent political shootings.
Other cool things:
