BC3 Student Ambassador Profiles

Why did you choose to be a BC3 Ambassador?
I heard that Dan Rooney was an ambassador so I thought I could meet him through this program. That was not the case; however, I have enjoyed my time working with the people at BC3.
What is the best thing about BC3?
The fine employees of the BC3 bookstore. Also, the beautiful campus, faculty and staff are tremendous to be around. This is a close knit college where everyone knows your name.

Do not talk to the financial controller, he is very mean.
After BC3, I plan to...
Transfer to a four year college and begin my path to a career in broadcasting. Alternative is to travel with my dad’s band, “Finance Jake and the Calculators.”

It can be a dreadfully complicated and drawn out process to become an international student in the US. That, however, was not the case at BC3.

Being an ambassador not only gives me the opportunity to show my appreciation and be involved at such a great institution, it also allows me to share my wonderful experiences that I have had here.
