Hello Bayhawks!
Whether you’re new or returning, welcome to Bristol Community College!
There’s something special about starting a new academic year, and I’m excited you’re here. Since 1965, Bristol Community College has supported students in reaching their goals, whether that means transferring to a four-year college or starting a career.
We put our students first. Take advantage of all we offer. I encourage you to join student organizations, connect with classmates, and explore our academic programs led by dedicated faculty. Get involved through internships, service projects, and community activities. Enjoy our athletics, cultural events, and the art gallery. No matter which location you attend–Attleboro, Fall River, New Bedford, or Taunton–you’ll find a welcoming community where your success truly matters.
We offer flexible learning options to fit your schedule, and our team is here to mentor and support you. Every student belongs here, and we’re dedicated to helping you thrive.
Bristol fosters a vibrant, inclusive campus culture rooted in our values of collaboration, communication, inclusion, innovation, respect and student success. As part of our diverse community, I encourage you to approach differences with empathy and respect. Each voice here belongs and adds something meaningful, so take time to listen, engage, and support each other.
We’re glad you’re here and we are ready to help you succeed. If you need anything, just ask. I look forward to seeing you on campus!
Respectfully,
Sedgwick L. Harris, Ed.D. President
