BHCC welcomes hundreds of international students to our campuses each year from more than 100 countries. “It takes a lot of courage and sacrifice for you to be here, and we are so happy that you chose Bunker Hill Community College as a place for you to pursue your educational goals,” said Justice Kumahia, Assistant Dean for Behavioral, Social Sciences and Global Learning.

BHCC President Pam Eddinger said, “my wish for you is that you come and learn about the United States and its cultures, and then teach us the cultures that you carry and let us be a home away from home for you.”
