BC3 welcomes incoming students
BUTLER TWP — Ethan Patton attended some classes at Butler County Community College while he was still in high school, so he is familiar with its main campus.
On Friday, the Butler native attended the college’s Welcome Day, where numerous campus organizations gave incoming students information about their new school.
Patton said he was happy to see the campus from a new perspective — one of a new BC3 student — where he plans to knock out some of his general education requirements for a potential transfer in the coming years.
“I’m excited for it,” said Patton, who will major in psychology. “It seems more free-flowing than a big university, and it seems like the professors are closer to the students to help more.”
The college semester hasn’t even started yet, but BC3’s president, Nick Neupauer, said he already feels a different energy on campus.
Especially after the past two academic years had been marked by at least some influence of COVID-19, Neupauer said the arrival of a new school year brings with it new possibilities.
