50 years and counting for BCC

Full story: Berkshire Eagle

As the two-year college nestled in Pittsfield's western hills settles into mid-life -- and as fall enrollment reaches its highest point in at least 18 years -- campus officials are enthusiastic about BCC's future.

Class of '03. Thank you Berkshire Community College!

I was at Central in the fall of '60 when BCC first opened. The junior highs (North and South) were overcrowded and they hadn't finished building Crosby, which was the 3rd jr. high, so the 7th graders from North and South each spent one semester at Central. There was an article about BCC, which was one of the first community colleges in Life or Look magazine including a photo of the BCC students standing out on the Common and all us 7th graders walking around them.

Thank you for creating Berkshire Community College.

I started in the fall of 1971 in the original site while construction continued on the West Street campus. It was exciting to be the first class to use the new campus and quite enjoyable to watch it be built. In the winter of 1972 I along with my classmates transitioned out to the new campus.

I don't live in Massachusetts now but the community college I live near is going strong there. What a great opportunity for so many people to get educated. When I see that campus I think of my start 38 years ago.

Keep going for many more years.
