Beacon Conference History
|
The Beacon Conference was born in 1993 when Rockland Community College (NY),
with a grant from the American Association of Community Colleges and the Kellogg
Foundation, and in association with Bergen Community College (NJ), Brookdale
Community College (NJ), Catonsville Community College (MD), Dutchess Community
College (NY), Harford Community College (MD), Kingsborough Community College
(NY), Middlesex Community/Technical College (CT), Nassau Community College (NY),
and Westchester Community College (NY), organized two conferences for student
scholars at two-year colleges in the mid-Atlantic region. Since then, the
conference has been sponsored by a coalition of participating community colleges
which take turns hosting this event each year the first Friday in June.
