Nurses Pinning

Today is one of those days where I realize just how lucky I am to be president of BC3. 

Tonight, 48 students were awarded their nursing pins during the College’s Annual Nurses Pinning Ceremony.  As I sat next to Ray Steffler, Chair of the BC3 Board of Trustees, we were marveled at the heartwarming speeches, songs and traditions of the ceremony. 

Heart Walk

BC3 Heart Walk Team

This past Saturday, October 12, several hundred people participated in the American Heart Association’s Annual Butler County Heart Walk.  This is the second consecutive year the event was held on our Main Campus.

Dozens of people mentioned the beauty of our campus to me – construction projects and all!  The weather made for a picture perfect day as we walked three miles to fight heart disease. 

Constitution Day

Undoubtedly, one of the best privileges we have as United States citizens is the right to vote. 

On September 17, BC3 will host a variety of Constitution Day events in the Succop Theater.  All will help you further understand the importance of the voting process in preparation for the November Presidential election.

BC3 Pioneers

BC3 Pioneer Athletics

Today is a college football Saturday.  One of my alma maters, Penn State, is hosting Oregon State University. 

State College is buzzing with activity.  Over 108,000 fans will cram Beaver stadium, donning blue and white to cheer on their beloved Nittany Lions.
