Dear BUSPH Community,
As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, I wanted to share with all that BUSPH will close early at 1:00 PM on Thursday, July 2nd in advance of the Friday, July 3rd University holiday observance.
Whether your plans include backyard barbecues, beach time, traveling, fireworks, or simply enjoying a well-earned afternoon with family and friends (or catching up on some much-needed sleep), I hope you have the opportunity to recharge and celebrate safely. And if your biggest decision is whether the hot dog or the hamburger wins this year’s cookout, I’d call that a successful holiday.
Thank you for everything you do to make BUSPH such a wonderful community. Your dedication, kindness, and hard work are what make our School thrive every day.
Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, joyful, and memorable Independence Day.
Warmly,
Ira
