What an interesting question: What do I do now? Summer is the time when BHC Scholars are often at their busiest with exciting summer plans that include travel, research, internships, study abroad, or even new careers. Many of these plans have changed or been put on hold, and now the question you may be asking yourself is, “so what is plan B?” This is a time of resilience, adaptability, creativity, and innovation. We are living in conditions we never imagined. Yet, here we are. We have incredible tools to guide and support us, such as the internet, tele-conferencing, video calls, and access to information. These tools enhance our ability to innovate and imagine. So, I challenge you to find ways to add value, try new things, and imagine what can be accomplished. We are here for you, and that means that we are searching for opportunities to help you enhance your skills and enrich your experiences--all virtually. You will find information on virtual volunteering and internships. There are short and long courses you can take remotely to develop new skills and enhance your knowledge. We look to you to share podcasts and books that you find enriching or just fun. There is so much we can do together and such a difference we can make. Join us as we continue to build community and find ways to make this world a better place for the future.
