SUNY Westchester Community College is excited to host the “Implementing Workforce Pell in New York,” co-convened by the New York Association of Training and Employment Professionals (NYATEP) and the Continuing Education Association of New York (CEANY). This dynamic 90-minute forum focuses on one of the most timely workforce and higher education policy developments in the state. It is our objective to raise awareness around the implementation of Workforce Pell and directly engage key decision-makers regarding the hopes and concerns of college-level and workforce practitioners.
The session will open with a featured guest speaker offering a national perspective on the implementation of Workforce Pell, followed by a moderated panel discussion with leading New York policymakers. The forum will conclude with an interactive Q&A, welcoming questions from both in-person and online participants.

Remembering Jane Goodall: Science, Sustainability, and Hope
2026-03-05 10:00 - 11:00 | SUNY Westchester Valhalla, 75 Grasslands Road, Valhalla, NY, 10595, United States
Classroom Building, CLA 100
Facilitated by Prof. Julie Linden
This event honors the life and legacy of Jane Goodall (1934-2025), whose career arc from pioneering primatologist to global conservation leader embodies this year’s Women’s History Month theme. The session will open with a screening of Goodall’s 2020 TED interview with Chris Anderson, “Every Day You Live, You Impact the Planet,” in which she reflects on her formative research at Gombe, her transformation from scientist to activist, and her holistic approach to conservation—one that links environmental protection to community health, education, economic opportunity, and youth empowerment. A facilitated discussion will follow the screening. The event will invite participants to consider how Goodall’s insistence that “every day you live, you impact the planet” challenges us to think about sustainable transformation in our own lives and communities.
