I appreciate your willingness to respect the opinions of the student leaders at BSM. Dr. Tift,

When the original decision came down, our family had numerous conversations about the decision, why it may have gone that way, and whether we agreed with it. We spent time drafting an initial letter to the administration voicing our concerns about that decision. We are very please to see that the voices of others with similar concerns were heard. Thank you for the job you all do, the hard calls that have to be made, and being able to see when a change of direction is the right thing to do. Dean, Becky, Bailey and Kyle Ribich President Tift,

As a graduate it really makes me question whether the current administration is running the school the way i remember it....where an event like relay for life would NEVER be denied. Especially after how the bsm community parents and even STUDENTS have been affected by cancer it is horrifying that bsm administration would think to say no. Shame on them. At least the student body held common sense and was able to make the administration see it. I can’t believe the administration would say no to hosting an event like relay for life.
