Gdimikominim! (Welcome to you all!)
As we begin the 2025 2026 school year, I want to share how excited we are to welcome both new and returning students to Bay Mills Community College. This is the start of another year filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and achieve your goals.
At BMCC, you are surrounded by expert faculty, dedicated staff, and passionate people who care deeply about your success. We are here not only to teach, but to guide, encourage, and support you at every step of your academic journey. Whether you are exploring new subjects, preparing for a career, or continuing toward graduation, you will find a community ready to walk alongside you.
This year, I encourage you to take full advantage of the resources, support, and opportunities available to you. Connect with your instructors, lean on the staff when you need help, and never hesitate to ask questions. You are not alone here. You are part of a college family that believes in your potential.
On behalf of all of us at BMCC, I wish you a year of discovery, growth, and accomplishment. We are honored that you have chosen BMCC, and we look forward to celebrating your successes throughout this school year.
