Welcome from WCC’s Provost & Vice President of Academic Affairs

I am excited to welcome you to Westchester Community College and to your First-Year Seminar. By enrolling in this course you have taken an important step toward achieving your educational and career goals.

Whether your next stop after WCC is a four-year college or the workplace, you will find that your First-Year Seminar has been designed to enhance your knowledge and skills in ways that will prepare you for both these settings. In this course you will explore and plan your academic and career pathway, strengthen your learning skills, and develop effective strategies for achieving your goals. To help you become a member of the College community, your First-Year Seminar will also engage you in activities that will connect you to your fellow students and to our faculty and staff. I encourage you to get involved in the many rich learning opportunities that await you in First-Year Seminar and on the WCC campus.

Your First-Year Seminar will also introduce you to WCC’s campus resources and to the faculty and staff who are here to guide and support you along your pathway. The College has so much to offer its students. I hope you will take full advantage of its services and ask for any assistance that you may need.

I wish you all the best on your academic journey!

Sincerely,

Dr. Vanessa Morest

Provost & Vice President of Academic Affairs
