CURRICULUM SPOTLIGHT

The India Project: A light-filled adventure in sustainability

The India Project: A light-filled adventure in sustainability

Life in rural India can be extremely challenging. Poverty, poor job prospects and gender inequality are just a few of the issues that continue to plague the country’s rural population. Limited access to energy is another. But now, with $30 billion in clean energy funding from India’s government and help from social enterprises like BC’s own India Project, rural India’s future is looking brighter—literally.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Mckenna Polich, MCAS ’19: English major, self-starter, entrepreneur

Mckenna Polich, MCAS ’19: English major, self-starter, entrepreneur

Mckenna Polich ’19 never saw herself as an entrepreneur. When she arrived on campus in the fall of 2015, she wanted only to be an English major, because “I was good at reading and writing.” She stuck with that plan, until fears of being a college-educated barista sent her running to her advisor to talk about a business degree.
