It is with very heavy hearts that we have made the decision to cancel in-person Homecoming activities scheduled for September 24-27, 2020 due to ongoing health and safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
We had long hoped this would not be necessary. “HOCO” is one of BU’s most cherished traditions, and we know that many of you started making your Homecoming plans months ago.
If it is possible to come together in the spring, we will let you know. However we will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff and alumni above all else.
In the meantime, stay tuned to our social media accounts for opportunities to engage virtually in the Bishop’s alumni experience. Our team is actively exploring ways to keep the spirit of Homecoming alive in 2020. If you have any ideas, please contact Sarah Langham at slangham@ubishops.ca
For those celebrating reunion milestones this year, rest assured that we will also provide an opportunity for you to celebrate on campus in person as soon as it is safe to do so.
All of us here are looking forward to the day when we can be together again in person to celebrate our Bishop’s memories by the mighty Massawippi shore.
BE SAFE. BE PURPLE. BU.
