Burke the Falcon Mascot

About Burke

The BCC mascot is the Falcon, the fastest animal in the world, so named as part of the College's alma mater — in the second verse saying: "When the Falcon soars in the golden sunlight," by Craig Cusson, class of 1964.

Naming the Falcon

BCC conducted a Falcon naming contest in 2018. The Falcon mascot was present to help unveil the winning name, after tallying the votes of more than 300 people across the community.

The BCC Falcon mascot can often be seen at the BCC Club sports games, like basketball and soccer, where they compete against other club sports teams ranging from UMASS to Yale. Additionally the mascot is a staple of many community events, having attended the Gather-In, Downtown Trick or Treat, and every Third Thursday in Pittsfield, and the Fall Foliage Parade in North Adams, to name a few.
