What is the broader community’s reaction?
Very positive, there is strong support. Frankly, the greater community has long used “Bellevue College” as a synonym for Bellevue Community College. There is a great deal of community enthusiasm for our college’s move to offer four-year degrees. Changing the name gets people’s attention in a good way. It signals growth and will help us in the competitive market for enrollment. This simple change retains all the positive associations that BCC has accumulated over 40 years and captures the ascendancy of Bellevue to most influential Eastside city.
