IN THE CLASSROOM
Students in World History with Ms. Mathias worked together to create a map of the world. After a lesson on the Colombian Exchange, the class was divided into the "Old" and "New" World. Groups were designated cartographers and mapped out the changes in the European view of the world after the voyages of European explorers. Other students highlighted the technology, innovations, crops, and animals that were traded between the two worlds. Students have a greater understanding of the Colombian Exchange and understand how it connected to the peoples of both the "Old" and "New" worlds.

GUIDANCE
Bristol Community College Presidential Scholars Program
The Presidential Scholars Program (PSP) is a selective program for high achieving students who have recently graduated or will be graduating this year from high school. Presidential Scholars receive expert transfer guidance that will enhance transfer to a competitive college or university including assistance with transcript review, transfer course selection and advisement, college search strategies, college application assistance, and scholarship opportunities. Presidential Scholars can also take advantage of the many transfer articulation agreements available at BCC.
The agreements ensure that transfer students who graduate from BCC enter the four-year institutions as juniors. All degree credits transfer, saving students time and money.
