Alumni Spotlights

Weber
  • Meet Stefanie Weber

  • Environmental Science
  • Even though Stefanie Weber grew up in Pittsfield, a self-proclaimed "GE kid," she never imagined she'd live here full time to pursue her art. Today, she is an action-based artist who specializes in dance, movement and performance, having worked with famed Berkshire institutions such as Jacob's Pillow, Barrington Stage Company, Berkshire Opera Company and others.
Revett
  • Meet Jakob Revett

  • Environmental Science
  • "I never adapted well in high school because I never understood the social hierarchy. That's a critical way BCC has helped me, aside from giving me real-world tools and real-world scenarios. It's a new experience. You get to shed that old shell or find a new one. You walk away stronger than you were before ..."
Bresnahan
  • Meet John Bresnahan

  • Liberal Arts
  • If ever there were an alum who reveres BCC, it would be John Bresnahan '74. Not only did he and his sister and brother matriculate from BCC, but all four of his children also attended BCC. "I wasn't quite sure of the path I wanted, other than I wanted a baccalaureate degree. I decided to start with my associate degree at BCC..."
Morgan Goodell
  • Meet Morgan Goodell

  • Fire Science
  • When Morgan Goodell was 16 years old, her dad, a volunteer in the Clarksburg Fire Department, brought her to work to show her what firefighters do. It was a pivotal moment. "They were all geared up and practicing wall breaches. I remember thinking it was really cool, and I wanted to do it too."
Julia Kalinowski
  • Meet Julia Kalinowski

  • Human Services
  • It's often said that the best counselors are those who have overcome adversity themselves. That theory will likely ring true one day for Julia Kalinowsky, a 23-year-old Pittsfield native who recently graduated from Berkshire Community College with an associate degree in Human Services.
