Students, Community, Faculty and Staff. I am honored to serve as the Director for the BC Multicultural Services Department. Our primary goal is to support students in their educational pathway at BC. We have a fantastic team of dedicated staff, and work-study students to serve you, to support you, and to help you navigate our college. I invite you to visit Multicultural Services, learn about our support services and programming, and to join our learning community.
Have questions about our department and services (academic coaching, financial aid counseling, tutoring, equipment lending, personal and leadership development, post prison and workshops)? Our front desk staff is here to help you over chat, audio and video.
