Greetings Bronco Family,
As we enter the second month of the year, we are reminded of the power of unity and community within our Bronco family. February offers many opportunities to grow, learn, and connect—both as individuals and as a collective. In this edition, we share important information on upcoming financial aid workshops, social events designed to bring students together, and details about our next Bronco Family Chat.
We also celebrate the accomplishments of our students and highlight events that strengthen the spirit of our shared journey. Additionally, as we observe Black History Month, we take this opportunity to honor the contributions, achievements, and legacy of those who have shaped our history and continue to inspire progress and unity.
In times of change and challenge, let us continue to support one another with kindness, understanding, and respect. Together, we create an environment where every Bronco feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Thank you for being an integral part of this incredible community.
The Office of New Student Programs and Family Engagement
