The mission of Bristol Community College's (BCC) Civic Engagement Program is to enhance student learning through the integration of academic learning in courses or through participation in community service. Members of the Civic Engagement Advisory Board were invited to a dinner on campus on April 16, 2014 at the Commonwealth Center. Participants were welcomed by Vice-President of Academic Affairs Greg Sethares and Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs Anthony Ucci on behalf of BCC President John Sbrega. Director of Civic Engagement Dr. Mary Zahm welcomed members of the Civic Engagement Advisory Board who help the College develop policies and practices that enhance connections with community organizations in which students are placed.
