Place Among the Greats is an oral history project that is collecting the vivid and provocative memories of BCC from students, faculty, staff and alumni. This project will include several voices: from the student who struggled against all odds to get their degree, to the instructor who recognized the potential of teaching nontraditional students, and alumni on their college experience and how it helped shape them into the people they are.
