Beacon College was recognized in a new national ranking in April as a Top 30 college for students with learning disabilities.

On its list that included the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Arizona, University of California-Irvine, and the University of Connecticut, College Consensus ranked Beacon College No. 27 on its list of “30 Best Colleges for Students with Learning Disabilities.”

Beacon College officials dedicated Fogg Hall, the nonprofit liberal arts school’s academic hub, during a January 25 ceremony saluting the continuing generosity of The Edward C. Fogg, III and Lizbeth A. Fogg Charitable Trust. The college acquired the 12,000-square-foot storefront space two decades ago to serve as its academic focal point. With the help of generous contributions from the Fogg Charitable Trust, the school transformed the space that houses nearly 90 percent of the college’s classroom and laboratory space and more than half of faculty offices into an educational space with a more traditional college feel.

Beacon College President George Hagerty in October discussed the continued growth of the college campus-wise and programmatically in his annual State of the College address during Parents Weekend.
