We are grateful to those who have already responded to our invitation earlier this year in support of the Annual Fund. The elements of the economy that have impacted each of us have had an impact on BB&N as well. As a result, the Annual Fund will play an even greater role this year in helping to provide the critical financial support that will allow the school to continue to meet all of its stated goals and commitments.
