Falcons Alumni

With the resurgence of club sports at BCC, there is a renewed interest to reconnect with our many Falcons Alumni -- former BCC student athletes from all years and all sports.

Some alumni came out to support the current Falcons basketball team as they defeated Goodwin College at Paterson on February 1st. Pictured at left are Orrin Powell, basketball, Nicole Mooney, softball and soccer, and Andrew Mickle, basketball.

The athletic program is raising funds to build a new trophy case to properly and prominently display the many trophies, plaques and awards BCC Falcons teams have received over the years. For more information, call the BCC Foundation at 413-236-2185 or make a gift online.

To keep track of the Falcons, follow them on Facebook at Paterson Field House.

Berkshire alumni sought to speak to high school students and parents

As part of BCC's strategic plan, the college and the Alumni Board are working to better communicate the value BCC provides to area high school families planning higher education. If you work in the region and would be willing to join with other alumni in sharing your education and career path story, contact Jennifer Kerwood, Director of Development and Alumni Relations at 413-236-2188 or by email.
