Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass — Berkshire Community College (BCC) encourages prospective students to enroll for summer 2024 classes in advance of the fall semester, which begins on Tuesday, September 3, 2024.
 
By completing one or more pre-requisite classes over the summer, students can focus on their desired area of study on the fall — or simply experiment with a course or two that piques their interest.
 
Students ages 25 and older may qualify for free tuition through the Commonwealth's MassReconnect program, providing they are Massachusetts residents who have not previously earned a college degree and who enroll in at least six credits per semester.
 
A variety of learning options are offered at BCC, including in-person, online and hybrid courses. Prospective students may register any time online, or by walking in without an appointment to the One Stop Center. There, applications are processed for instant acceptance to the College. Financial aid assistance is also available.
 
To learn more about applying to BCC, including viewing an admission checklist, browsing a course catalogue, filing a financial aid form or scheduling a tour in person or online, visit www.berkshirecc.edu/fall. Advisors are on hand to answer questions; call (413) 499-4660 or email onestop@berkshirecc.edu.

Dalton Select Board Reorganizes

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Select Board voted Robert Bishop as chair and Dan Esko as vice chair during its meeting last week. 
 
The motion was made by Marc Strout and seconded by Bishop to nominate Esko as vice chair. 
 
Esko has been on the board for four years and has served as vice chair for one year thus far. 
 
He said later that he is feeling very positive about the future and is happy to continue serving as vice chair.
 
"Having served as chair of the Planning Board for several years previously, I am comfortable in a board leadership role and can run meetings competently and efficiently in the absence of the chair," he said in a follow-up.
 
"I am looking forward to continuing my work on the Select Board with my colleagues to address the town’s current and future needs in collaboration with the Town Manager, department heads, and other boards and committees." 
 
The motion was made by Strout and seconded by Joesph Diver to nominate Bishop for chair. The decision passed unanimously.
