Movie Award Party Celebration & Fundraiser

BCCC Announces Annual Movie Award Party Celebration & Fundraiser

 Officials from Bucks County Community College’s Learning Resources department, in collaboration with Student Life, announced the date for their annual Movie Award Party, taking place on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, 12-1:30 p.m. in the Library on the College’s Newtown Campus. This year’s event combines celebration with charity. Considering the devastating fires in Los Angeles, the Movie Award Party will not only honor beloved films but also raise funds to support those affected by the fires. All proceeds from the fundraiser, managed by Bucks’ student organizations, will directly benefit the victims of the fires. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to show their gratitude by creating “Thank You” cards for the brave Los Angeles area firefighters who have been working tirelessly to protect communities. The celebration will include several interactive stations for attendees to explore, including: Selfie Prop Station Showing Off Red Carpet Looks Giving an Acceptance Speech Movie Trivia ...and much more! Those who complete at least three activities will be entered into a raffle to win a prize basket. “The Movie Award Party has always been a highly anticipated event, and this year, we are excited to combine the fun of celebrating films with the important opportunity to give back to those in need,” said Kelly Deeny, Interlibrary Loan and Records Technician at Bucks County Community College. “We look forward to seeing our students, faculty, and community members come together for a good cause, and we encourage everyone to join us for this exciting and meaningful event.” The event is free and open to the public. Students, faculty, and staff of Bucks County Community College are encouraged to participate in the festivities, support the fundraiser, and make a difference in the lives of those impacted by the fires.

High School Scribes Encouraged to Enter 38th Annual Poetry Contest

 Bucks County Community College, which has been nurturing writers for more than 50 years, calls on creative young people to enter the 38th annual Bucks County High School Poet of the Year contest for the chance to win $300. Students have until Monday, March 17 to submit three original poems, according to Dr. Ethel Rackin, director of the Bucks County Poet Laureate Program, which runs the Bucks County High School Poet of the Year contest. The contest is open to freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors who live in Bucks County or attend a Bucks County high school. Home-schooled students may also enter. Previous winners are not eligible. In addition to the prize money, the winner receives a proclamation from the Bucks County Commissioners, and the opportunity to read at a public reception. Runners-up and finalists will also be invited to read at the public event. “Entering the High School Poet of the Year contest may give students a chance to discover and develop a talent they may not have realized they had,” said Rackin, a language and literature professor at Bucks. What’s more, participating in the public poetry reading may help a student stand out in their college search. “Mentioning the contest, public reading, and anthology on college applications will demonstrate initiative, writing skills, and public speaking experience,” Rackin added. “Clearly, there’s a lot to gain from entering this contest.” Each participant must submit three original poems with an application form. The contest will be judged by the current Bucks County Poet Laureate Lake Angela and the former poet laureate Tara Tamburello.

 Bucks County Community College will host a 2+2 Dual Admission Information Session on Wednesday, February 19, 6-7:30 p.m., on the Upper Bucks Campus (One Hillendale Road, Perkasie, PA 18944) in the Library Learning Studio. Prospective students and their families will receive valuable information about how they can minimize student debt and save thousands of dollars by completing an associate degree at Bucks before earning a bachelor’s degree at a top-ranked university. By attending Bucks for their first two years and transferring to one of the 26 dual admission university partners, students can save 26%-72% on tuition and fees over their four-year college experience thanks to Bucks’ affordable tuition and fees and factoring in the scholarships availed to dual admission transfer students from the four-year university partners. In fact, the savings may be even greater when factoring in the more than $600,000 in scholarships available to Bucks students every year when enrolled at the community college. Bucks County Community College offers more than 40 transfer degrees. When students participate in the dual admission transfer pathway, they receive guaranteed admission, junior status and have the application fee waived at the four-year university.
