Laura Saldarini

Environmental Science

"I became interested in returning to college when my son graduated from high school and was trying to figure out his plans. BCC was the obvious choice for me and I fell in love with the catalog description of the Environmental Science major. But science? I had never done well in science and was nervous about trying again at 44 years old!

From day one I felt comfortable and capable thanks to the support of the amazing faculty. I was even selected to be the valedictorian at my graduation ceremony in 2008! My BCC academic experience remains one of the most valuable and memorable experiences in my life.

Since 2013 I have been working at BCC in Academic Affairs where I can support the staff and administration in the wonderful work they do. I completed my BA in Interdisciplinary Studies at MCLA in 2016 and am considering continuing on for an MA degree. For me, it all started here at BCC."

For me, it all started here at BCC.
