That includes reporting any suspicious activity noticed around the display cases; watching for any rings matching the ring's description on Facebook Marketplace, eBay or local pawn shops; and sharing the Facebook post so more people see it.

LENOX, Mass. — The largest Berkshire Community College class in more than 10 years crossed Tanglewood's stage on Friday night.

It was also President Ellen Kennedy's last BCC commencement in the position, as she will step down at the end of June.

"It has been the greatest gift of my professional life to have been on this journey with you, all of you," Kennedy said.

"Though our paths will now diverge, I know that the memories, the relationships, the moments of conflict and pain that led to new possibilities and growth, those will stay with me always."

The 341 graduates in 38 programs of study earned a total of 377 awards: 218 associate degrees, and 159 certificates. This is the highest number of graduates the college has had since 2014, when it conferred awards to 362 students.

Graduates ranged in age from 17 to 68, and while a majority live in Massachusetts, others are from Connecticut, Kentucky, New York, Vermont, and West Virginia.

Travis Murach, who earned an associates degree in liberal arts, took the mic as he crossed the stage to receive his diploma to say he had been at BCC for a total of 15 years, dropped out three times, and has finally done it.
