The celebration included heartfelt remarks, special recognitions and video messages from Congressman Richard Neal and Senator Ed Markey.

SGA President and recent graduate Briana Booker also presented Ellen with a special “Dear BCC” book created in her honor, which is now available to view in The Ruth Edmonds Hill Library on campus.

Thank you, President Kennedy, for your service, care and lasting commitment to BCC and the Berkshires.
