<p class="MsoNormal">Dear BSOB Graduate Students,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Welcome back to campus! We are excited about the semester and all of the great things that each of you are about to experience as a part of the Samford campus but also as a part of the Brock School of Business community. Your faculty
and staff are here to help you on your journey.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those of you taking face to face / in person classes this semester – MASKS ARE REQUIRED IN CLASS AND IN COONEY HALL.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, for our face to face / in person classes we are NOT recording / broadcasting those classes via Zoom or any other medium.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of you know this but we now have a student lounge / study area dedicated for Graduate Students ONLY. This room (Cooney Hall 105) can be accessed any time the building is open via keypad entry. The code should not be given to undergraduate
students. The code for this room is 2015*.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Funding for this room has been provided by Professor Cam Pearce and her husband, Andrew in memory of Andrew’s mother, Carrie Anna Pearce who was the founding Director of the Academic Internship Program.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you wish to send a THANK YOU email to Professor Pearce, she can be reached at
