WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY COLLEGE YONKERS EXTENSION CENTER HONORED BY YONKERS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 

Westchester Community College’s Yonkers Extension Center was honored recently by the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce. “I’m proud to receive this award on behalf of the College and my team at the Center,” says Rick Hyland, director of the Center. “We’re honored to be a part of the Yonkers community and we’re fortunate to have the Chamber as a partner,” he adds.

The Yonkers Extension Center, located in the Cross County Shopping Center, opened in 2001. Each semester, more than 1,000 credit and non-credit students take classes there in a variety of areas: computing, general education, and English as a Second Language. Eight staff members, including a full-time faculty member, work at the facility.

Westchester Community College is the largest higher education institution in Westchester. The main campus in Valhalla is complemented by Centers in Yonkers, Mount Vernon, White Plains, Ossining and Peekskill. Classes are also offered at a variety of other locations throughout the county.
