Celebrating an Era of Extraordinary Leadership

In 2023, Beacon was accepted as a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA), a national small-college intercollegiate athletic league, to compete in men’s and women’s basketball and cross-country. As part of that transition, the college also introduced a new mascot, the Beacon College Blazers, to further build and better represent the strength and will of our students and our burgeoning athletics program.

“The expansion of our athletic programs at Beacon College aligns perfectly with our holistic approach to education,” said Dana Manzo, vice president of student affairs. “We recognize the invaluable role sports play in developing key life skills like leadership, discipline, and mindfulness. These programs don't just benefit our student-athletes; they enrich our entire college community, creating an environment where every student can thrive both inside and outside the classroom.” In a little over a decade, Dr. Hagerty has completely transformed the culture, the look, and the global standing of Beacon College, yet Beacon has only scratched the surface of what kind of institution he believes it can be. His unwavering vision continues to focus on how Beacon can best serve the academic, social and emotional needs of our growing student population with his most ambitious initiative to date. Beacon’s current $14.5 million capital campaign, The Beacon Promise, is central to that effort. Our Exciting Next Chapter

The campaign will further elevate the student experience through three key elements:

Construction of an $11 million, 28,000-square-foot Intramural & Fitness Center

Dedication of $1.5 million for enhancements to Beacon’s Academic Mall

Establishment of a $2 million scholarship endowment
