Burke’s been holding down the nest… but campus is a little too quiet without you.

Campus won’t be this quiet for much longer, and we can’t wait to welcome our newest students to BCC in just two weeks! The countdown to the fall semester is on.

While taking part in the KidsAct Barrington Stage Company camp, Margaret and her friend Lily recently got an up-close look at some of the incredible work happening at BCC with Environmental Science Professor Tom Tyning, including a timber rattlesnake being studied on campus.

After the visit, Margaret had one thing to say about her own future plans:
“I don’t want to go to a sleepaway school, I want to go to BCC.”

We love seeing curiosity, learning and a little Falcon spirit starting early!
