The Spring 2025 edition of BHCC Magazine was also recognized with a Bronze Medallion in the Magazine Large-Scale category. The issue captured the College’s role in expanding access, celebrating innovation, and strengthening partnerships across Massachusetts.
Excellence in Advertising
BHCC also received two awards recognizing the reach and impact of its print advertising campaign, including a:
