Through the struggles caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the Center for Professional Development and Curriculum Support at Southern Westchester BOCES has pivoted to support its school district partners. The Center’s success, which stems from a combination of humanizing technology and implementing flexibility, allows it to continue providing educational opportunities and resources in this new era.

Our fashion students missed an opportunity to host a fashion show this year, but they were able to strut on at-home catwalks, putting on a virtual show! Students created COVID-19 inspired fashion, videotaped themselves modeling their designs.
The Center for Career Services found a unique way to celebrate the newest members of the National Technical Honor Society. Unable to host an in-person ceremony due to the coronavirus, the Center opted for a virtual one, sharing a pre-recorded ceremony on June 17.
The Center for Career Services honored students on back-to-back nights. The first time came with the premier of the National Technical Honor Society induction ceremony on Wednesday, June 17. Next, on Thursday, June 18, the Center premiered its year-end Recognition Ceremony, where 335 graduates celebrated embarking on the careers for which SWBOCES has trained them. Both videos can be viewed in full online at http://careers.swboces.org. We congratulate our students on their achievements.
This year's Recognition Ceremony was a bit different, a reflection on the school year that saw a dramatic change when distance learning was introduced in the ealry spring. As always, the Southern Westchester BOCES Center for Career Services wanted to create a special evening to recognize its students. Since an in-person event was not possible, school administrators created a virtual one! Click here to learn more about the ceremony and to watch a video of the event.
The mission of our Center for Adult & Community Services is to give our students a bridge to new opportunities and achievements. They are new citizens, speakers of English as a new language, and High School Equivalency recipients. They gain employment skills in workforce certification programs. They reach new heights for themselves and for their families and their communities. And everyone of them makes us proud. Congratulations, Class of 2020!
Students in our Special Services programs rely on the support of a community that extends beyond our classrooms and campuses and into the cities, towns and villages of Southern Westchester. Each year we honor community partners whose extraordinary efforts make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students. We call these honors the "American Dreamer Awards." View the 2020 awards program here. Thank you for your support!
