The Foundation Of Brunswick Community College

What a special day for Brunswick Community College!

BCC officially dedicated the Dan and Linda Lynes Health Sciences Center during a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by students, faculty, staff, community leaders, and supporters.

For more than a decade, Dan and Linda Lynes have invested in BCC students through scholarships, mentorship, and support for healthcare education. Their generosity continues to impact future nurses, healthcare professionals, and our entire community.

Thank you, Dan and Linda Lynes, for believing in the power of education and changing lives at BCC for generations to come.
