WCC Shows Off its Programs at Open House

Westchester Community College has its annual spring Open House on Tuesday, May 21 from 4 to 7 p.m. on the institution’s main campus at 75 Grasslands Road in Valhalla.

The event will include a campus tour of the 218-acre campus including the newly renovated and expanded Student Center Building and the Gateway Center, the first county-owned “green” building.   

Representatives from Admissions, Financial Aid, the Career and Transfer Center, Counseling, and Academic Advisement will meet with high school juniors, seniors, and their parents at the event, which will begin in the gym. Current college students considering transfer to Westchester Community College are also invited to attend. The event, which attracts hundreds of individuals, will include representatives from more than sixty of the college’s associate degree and certificate programs. They will answer questions about the institution’s many academic options. Also, current students will meet with prospective students.

The focus of the Open House will be on information regarding programs leading to careers and transfer to four-year universities. As Westchester County’s largest college, Westchester Community College offers a full range of academic programs with courses offered days, evenings, weekends, and online.

The college has several academic programs offered completely online. This academic year, the college’s credit student enrollment is close to record levels. As has been the case for many years, more local high school graduates move on to Westchester Community College than any other educational institution.   

Members of the public are invited to this free event, which will include refreshments.
