Longtime BC Professor Chuck Wall passed away on June 8. He has requested no services. But maybe we can all be kinder in his memory.

Hey BC alumni! My Mento Buru bandmates and I have just released our "Renegade Sounds" 3-song music project in collaboration with the BC Commercial Music Lab stu...dents and the BC Foundation. We had a blast reimagining the original Cal Mueller fight song arrangement from '51 into a classic swing ska style for you to dance around the room before the upcoming return to Memorial Stadium when the 'Gades play again. Dedicated to all my fellow BC alumni and especially all my friends in the BC Renegade Marching Band! BC Class of '89, baby! You can listen here, download or stream at all outlets - Apple, Spotify, etc. Hope you enjoy! See more

Thanks to the generosity of Clifford and Patricia Mettler, BC will continue to offer exciting programs for future leaders in agriculture.
