On Thursday, September 29, 2011, Brothers On a New Direction, better known as B.O.N.D., held their first Open House at the Multicultural Center to recruit new members and answer questions about the organization.  Three new members joined at the Open House, Emmanuel Houston, Ros Drummond, and Brandon Brooks. 

A brief history on B.O.N.D.:

Brothers On A New Direction (B.O.N.D.) is a diverse program geared toward putting collectively a society of freshman and sophomore male students (specifically 1^st generation and minorities) through positive guidance with a support system towards relevant programming and resources on campus in an effort to promote self-development and personal growth. Community leaders, College of Charleston faculty and staff, and especially the Multicultural family will work diligently to ensure that all Brothers receive any necessary assistance and advisement that will enhance their College experience. BOND’s official motto is “Docendo Discimus”, which means, teach in order to learn (we learn by teaching). To go along with the available resources we provide the Brothers leadership with style.
