Graduation is just a few days away. We are awed and inspired by the group of individuals preparing to walk across the stage into the world to make the changes and transformations that brought them to BGI in the first place. If you have a chance, ask a soon-to-be graduate about the personal and professional metamorphosis that they have experienced during their time at BGI. BGI is proud of all the accomplishments and transformations that our students have made in the 2012-13 academic year.
Throughout the month, we’ll be blogging, sharing, and starting conversations on Transformation. Below you’ll find more information on the events happening this month and how you can participate on social media and the blog:
