Four publications created by Bunker Hill Community College have received Medallion Awards from the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR) communications competition. The awards were announced October 6, 2015, at the NCMPR District 1 Conference in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Talk show host and bestselling author Tavis Smiley kicked off Bunker Hill Community College’s annual Compelling Conversations speaker series on Thursday, October 22, with an upbeat talk about optimism and hope that brought cheers and laughter from the audience. Before the lecture, Smiley enjoyed a lunch with students and staff in the College art gallery and met with students in Professor James Rogash’s journalism class. Smiley answered student questions and told them the best journalists are “generous listeners.”
