Brazosport College’s Office of Student Life is ensuring that students returning to classes next week are not only welcomed back to campus with enjoyable and fun activities, but also with plenty of information about the College’s organizations and activities.

Through its 2017 Spring Welcome Week event, the BC Office of Student Life will be holding activities all week to help students become involved on campus.

The week kicks off Tuesday with welcome bags for students in the College’s Central and Sadler lobbies, and will close with an open house for the school’s fitness loft and intramurals program on Thursday. These events are only the start of a busy week, however.

Welcome Week will also include an ACE It pancake breakfast and pizza event with professors, a student involvement fair, free caricature drawings and an open house at the BC Police Department, among other activities.
