Student Amy PotterThree Generations, One College: A Legacy of Learning at Bristol Community College

At Bristol Community College, education is more than just a journey—it's a family tradition. Meet Amy Potter, whose story of learning and legacy spans three generations.

I began my journey with Bristol Community College 28 years ago as an elementary education major.

I loved every aspect of Bristol. From its beautiful and easy to navigate campus, to the professors who took the time and really cared. There was always someone on hand willing to help, from advisors to faculty and staff. Starting college can be an intimidating experience, but Bristol alleviated those fears by providing guidance along the way. Having a dedicated support system enabled me to excel in my courses, and then transfer to Bridgewater State University.

After earning my bachelor's degree, I taught in various capacities. I eventually spent a decade at home raising my two children. After this hiatus, I realized teaching was not for me, and I wanted to pursue other avenues. I worked in the medical field for years before finding the job I currently hold here at Bristol. Working for Bristol Community College is just as great as studying here. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful, creating an amazing work environment.

Bristol Community College had such a positive impact on my life that I convinced my mom to attend. Having not been in school for over 30 years the idea seemed daunting. Luckily for her, Bristol made it easy! Her professors were engaging and beyond helpful. They really understand each student’s unique situation and help to ensure student success. She went on to graduate and become a medical assistant. The confidence Bristol gave her was immensurable.

My daughter will be applying next fall for graphic design. That will be three generations of Bristol students!

Whatever your dreams may be... start them at Bristol Community College.

Website accessibility refers to the inclusive design and implementation of websites that enable all individuals, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities, to access and interact with the content effectively. An accessible website ensures that people with disabilities, such as visual impairments, hearing impairments, motor disabilities, or cognitive challenges, can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the site's information and functionalities. Achieving website accessibility involves adhering to web accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which provide guidelines and techniques to make web content more accessible. By following these guidelines, website creators can provide alternative text for images, use descriptive headings, ensure keyboard navigation, and provide captions for multimedia content, thus fostering a digital environment that is welcoming and inclusive to all users.

Website accessibility is not only a legal and ethical obligation but also a sound business decision. Creating an accessible website not only opens up new opportunities to reach a broader audience, including people with disabilities, but also enhances the user experience for all visitors. A website that is user-friendly and accessible contributes to increased engagement, improved search engine visibility, and reduced bounce rates. Moreover, with an increasing awareness of the importance of accessibility, businesses and organizations that prioritize inclusive design can positively impact their reputation and brand image. By incorporating accessibility principles from the outset of web development, website owners can empower people of all abilities to participate fully in the digital realm, promoting a more inclusive and equitable online experience for everyone.
