Welcome Back Students/Staff

Welcome back faculty, staff, continuing and new students! As summer comes to a screeching halt, the new fall semester here at BMCC begins. Although the weather we’ve been having lately is “summer like” don’t let that fool you into not attending classes.

New TRiO Student Intern

My name is Angela Miller and I am the new TRiO Student Intern for Debbie LeBlanc. I graduated from Rudyard high school in June 2006. I came to BMCC in the fall of 2006 and intend to graduate in May 2007 with an Associate Degree in Computer Information Systems-Office Emphasis. I started working in the TRiO department September 10, 2007 and enjoy seeing/meeting new students’ everyday in the TRiO Computer Lab, located in the lower part of the Library.
