Awards and Recognitions
By definition, they say Renegades are those who "desert a set of principles." Renegades defy convention and embrace the unknown. Renegades are innovators. At Bakersfield College, Renegades stand unfettered by the status quo, refusing to be constrained by boundaries that were never designed to facilitate, but instead to limit. It is in this spirit that BC has earned local, statewide, and national recognition for our leadership, our engagement, and our innovation.
