As we look ahead to the start of the fall semester on Aug. 24, we’re taking a moment to look back at one of our favorite days of the year: Commencement.

In May, the Class of 2026 celebrated the memories made, goals achieved and people who supported them along the way.

As BC3 marks 60 years as the community’s college, these graduates carry that legacy forward as the newest members of our alumni family. 🎓💙

Happy Earth Day from BC3! 🌎

On April 9, BC3 @ Armstrong students and faculty collected litter near Ford City as part of the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful initiative.

And on April 14, Main Campus students from Phi Theta Kappa’s Rho Phi Chapter tackled a stretch of Vogel Road through PennDOT’s Adopt-a-Highway program.

Thank you to everyone who participated to help keep our community clean. Small actions lead to big impact!
