A Silver Medallion of Excellence Award in the Print Advertisement category went to an advertisement with the headline, “Get ready to make the play of a lifetime.” The ad appeared in the 2015 Official Red Sox Yearbook, the number one collectible souvenir.
BHCC Magazine earned a Silver Medallion of Excellence Award. This is the fourth time that the College has won a silver award for the magazine.
