The Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) Integrated Marketing and Communications (IMC) division won two Paragon Awards from the National Council of Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR).

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,

The College has joined with UMass Boston and Middlesex Community College in writing this joint statement regarding Asian communities in the Greater Boston area and across the United States experiencing heightened xenophobic reactions as a result of the COVID-19 virus outbreak. Read the statement.

The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the inequities in our society, especially when it comes to education. BHCC students face significant financial challenges in the best of times and an estimated 20 -25 % do not have the technology – personal computers and internet – to support remote and on-line learning. The College’s shift to complete remote instruction, tutoring and advising during the COVID-19 crisis presented an obstacle to these students’ ability to stay enrolled.

As companies and organizations shift to remote working, Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) internship partners are committed to continuing experiential learning opportunities for student interns.

The Massachusetts Association of Community Colleges (MACC) is honoring community college scholars for their induction to the 2020 Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) All-Massachusetts Academic Team through a virtual “PTK Community College Excellence Week.” Bunker Hill Community College students Oumaima Erragragui, Prepsa Ghimire, and Elidijon Tafa were among the honorees. Elidijon Tafa was this year’s New Century Workforce Scholar and was awarded a $1,250 scholarship for this honor. Read student biographies.

“We’re honored to have them represent Bunker Hill. We recognize their high academic achievement, their outstanding leadership, and their commitment to civic and community engagement,” said BHCC President Pam Eddinger.

On Friday, May 1, Bunker Hill Community College President Pam Eddinger will appear on WGBH-TV’s (Channel 2, Boston) public affairs program “Basic Black” for a special segment on the effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on community college students.
