Happy Independence Day to you and yours!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and enjoyable Independence Day.  Whether it is a quiet day for reflection or a big celebration, I am grateful to live in this beautiful country of the US of A.  I am grateful for our wonderful students and graduates and their families, our fabulous faculty and staff, and employers who appreciate and hire many of our graduates.

Most of all, I am appreciative that The College of Westchester has been a quality institution of higher education since 1915, 100 years, helping our students to become more independent and successful!

Here is a nice reflection from one of our recent grads, Rose Maldonado. 

Congrats to our 99th Commencement, 100th Anniversary College of Westchester Graduates!

I just have to give a shout-out to our wonderful class of 2015 graduates. 

Give a quick watch here and congrats to all of our deserving new grads and to their families who have been with them, every step of the way!

Thanks and gratitude also to CW faculty and staff who provide our deserving grads with CW energy to succeed!

Many more successes and may you reach every goal you set, Class of 2015!

Some awesome CW info to share

Just busting to show you this awesome commercial that features College of Westchester graduates and faculty.  Thanks to you all for participating!!

100 Years of Excellence

It is hard for me to believe that The College of Westchester will reach it's 100 year anniversary in 2015.  That means thousands and thousands of CW graduates have graced the halls of virtually every company and organization in Westchester County, Rockland, Manhattan, Putnam, Bronx and Orange Counties and surrounding areas.  Thousands of success stories, tens of thousands of families whose lives were made better by our graduates' choice to attend college, persist, work hard, graduate and find employment that changed their lives for the better in so many ways.  Check out this interesting advertisement from 1915 which was placed in the New Rochelle Pioneer on July 24, 1915, when CW first opened their doors:

Back in the day, we were called Westchester Commercial School, then Westchester Business School, then The Westchester Business Institute, and now The College of Westchester.  Though our programs of study have changed to adapt to what the local and regional business community needs, one thing remains the same - we prepare individuals for careers that really matter, that can help make them employable, better their professional earnings potential and enrich their lives....and we still have the greatest instructors and professors!!

Here are a couple of CW Scholar stories.
