BizComm's two "Faculty in the Halls" mentors for the Western Run first-year residence hall, Leeanne Bell McManus and Chip Rouse, welcomed their residents back to school with an ice cream event, "Sundaes on Monday," on Monday, Feb. 2 in the lobby of the residence hall. Students were treated to a make-your-own-sundae bar, and spent some time socializing and welcoming back friends from the fall semester. The RAs were there as well to help out!

The "Faculty in the Halls" mentoring program also includes BizComm Christine Noya, who serves as one of two mentors in Patapsco Hall.  The program is run under the direction of Jeff Kelly, dean of students.

BizComm alum Liz Brooks (class of 2010) will soon begin her new job as the Compliance Specialist for the UMBC Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships, moving from her former position as a financial aid counselor. Liz graduated from Stevenson and later received her Master's degree in Organizational Development and Leadership from Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania. In the photo, Liz is shown at the senior year Business Communication poster presentation session with her poster showcasing her work at CCBC. Congratulations, Liz!
