"BCTC has offered me a platform to expose my colleagues and students to other cultures of the world through educational travel, curriculum development, and cultural competency training program."
Dr. Iddah Otieno | Professor of English & African Studies / Director, Kenya Exchange Program
"What I like most about working at BCTC Danville is that I get the opportunity to help many people work toward a goal and improve their lives. Students from ages 18-65, each with a unique story, and many having experienced hard times, all have the same goal to better themselves and their family . I relish the opportunity to help each one of them reach their goals."
Ty Howard | Danville Campus Director
