ANNOUNCEMENT

BCS Student Art Show - Thursday, May 22
We urgently need volunteers this week to help finish taping over 200 art projects to the paper walls—and extra hands on Thursday between 1–5 PM for day-of installation. We can’t start setup until after lunch, so it will be a race to the finish. If you're available, we’d love your help getting everything up in time for the big night!
Day-of volunteers: Please bring gloves and muscles—we’ll be using a pulley system to lift walls, and gloves will help prevent rope burn
