Dear Cavaliers:

The start of a new academic year is an exciting time on a college campus.  This year, is no exception!  As Chancellor, I am thrilled to welcome both new and returning students to Bossier Parish Community College (BPCC), a very special place that values respect, integrity, excellence, innovation, success, partnership, and diversity.  At BPCC, we are committed to creating a supportive environment that enhances your sense of care and connection to our community. 

I encourage you to take advantage of all the programs, services, and opportunities BPCC has to offer.  Get to know your professors, join in on campus activities, and build meaningful connections with your peers, faculty, and staff. 

Whether this is your first semester or your last, remember that this journey is about more than just learning – it’s about discovering your passions and developing skills that will shape your future.  Embrace each experience and challenge with an open heart and a determined spirit.  Our dedicated faculty and staff are here to support you every step of the way, providing the resources and guidance you need to thrive. 

I look forward to seeing the amazing contributions you will make to our community and beyond. Have a great semester. Go Cavs!

Sincerely,
Dr. Rick Bateman, Jr., Chancellor
