BC ALUMNI HALL OF FAME

The BC Alumni Association presented a Hall of Fame between 1987 and 2013, honoring members of the Alumni Association who were outstanding representatives of Bakersfield College and who were supporters of the Association and/or BC.

The Bakersfield College Foundation, in conjunction with the BC Alumni Association, is proud to bring back the BC Alumni Hall of Fame, which will now honor alumni who have made a significant impact through their profession, public and community service, or by making a positive influence in the lives of others. In order to be eligible for induction, candidates must have either earned their associate’s degree, transferred from BC to a four-year university, or attended classes at Bakersfield College without earning a degree.
