We think that one of the most useful ways to get a sense of
the work that goes on at the BGC is for you to attend one of our open houses in
the fall. Hosted by the Dean of our school, Professor Peter N. Miller, and by
the Dean for Academic Administration and Student Affairs, Elena Pinto Simon, a
BGC Open House presents inquirers with the opportunity to hear about work of
the BGC, to listen to faculty talk about their methodological approaches, and
to have general questions answered about admissions and financial aid. Included
in each event is a tour of our facility.
RSVP is required.
