History Department Award: Juliana Rodriguez
Awarded to a history student in memory of Mitchell J. Mulholland

Lt Col. Mitchell Mulholland was a member of the BCC Family for 26 years as a Professor of History, faculty advisor and Chairman of the History Department. Professor Mulholland always joked about not being able to go anywhere without encountering a former student. He was traveling in Boston waiting for a train to do some genealogical research when he heard, "Col. Mulholland!" He stopped and a young man ran up to him and explained, "I had you as a professor for Western Civ at BCC 10 years ago!" Students always remarked that he made History alive. This award is to continue this tradition in his memory.
