Bear Tracks - The Official Podcast of Butler Community College

Bear Tracks is back!

In Season 2, we’re once again taking you around the world and across campus to share the voices and stories that make Butler Community College such a remarkable place. From inspiring students and dedicated faculty to accomplished alumni and proud community members, each episode celebrates the people who shape Butler’s past, present, and future.

We’re kicking off the new season in a big way — with a conversation with Butler’s new president, Dr. Tamara Daniel. And that’s just the beginning. As we look ahead to Butler’s Centennial in the 2026–2027 academic year, our stories will continue to shine a spotlight on the connections, achievements, and moments that define the Butler experience.

Tune in, subscribe, and be part of the conversation. Your story matters — and we can’t wait to tell it.
