I invite you to consider taking care of your own mind, body, and spirit by enrolling in one of our spring o erings. Work and learning environments do not look the same today as they did in 2021. For more than a year, we have been managing our professional and personal lives with new processes and customs—all in an e ort to keep safety and health as our number one priority. At Westchester Community College, we look to January as an opportunity to re-emerge from a mostly remote environment to one that blends remote instruction with opportunities to engage safely in person. We have learned what works well in a virtual environment and where we simply cannot replace the power of learning in person. That is why this spring our o erings will include a combination of remote and in-person classes. We continue to o er a mix of career and work-related opportunities as well as options for your cultural and leisure-time enrichment. We continue to o er classes on your schedule—day, evenings, and weekends. Whether in person or via Zoom, our experienced and professional instructors have prepared well to o er you stimulating experiences. All classes are clearly designated as remote or in-person. With our focus on helping you explore a new career, upgrade your current portfolio, or prepare for certification in a new and growing field, we are certain you will find what you need here. Our classes can prepare you for a career in high-demand fields such as healthcare, information technology, or real estate. We also o er a wide variety of remote options for lifelong learning. Explore history, crafts, and writing your memoirs-or learn guitar, piano, or acting. From learning a new language to preparing for your financial future, we have it all. I encourage you to join other learners while taking time for yourselves during these changing times. Let Westchester Community College show you how. Teresita B. Wisell Vice-President, Workforce Development and Community Education WELCOME! Textbook Required
