Yevhen Deriy (WCC ’04; Clarkson ‘06)
“The Business Program at WCC was a key starting point in my educational endeavors. Attending the College was by far the best decision I made as a high school senior who just arrived in the U.S.A. It allowed me to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to transfer to a well-known university and start my career in finance. But more importantly, WCC was the place where some of my most valuable life-long relationships with remarkable classmates and incredibly helpful faculty members began.”

Marc R. Ruppenstein (WCC ’10; Columbia ’12)
“Westchester Community College provided the base I needed to pursue my goal of transferring to Columbia University. It was extremely helpful to have business professors that were not only able to relay information in a clear and concise manner, but also possess real world business experience themselves. Westchester Community College as a whole is a fostering environment that takes an active role in making sure students succeed.”

Anna Jeschke (WCC ‘09; Columbia ’14)
“The Business Program at Westchester Community College prepared me well for my transition to Columbia University. The Professors have in-depth knowledge of their field and truly support students all the way. Working in a major Investment Bank today I am finding myself using skills that I acquired first at WCC.”

David Limonta (WCC ’09; Clarkson ‘13)
“WCC changed my life. The wonderful faculty provided me with the tools and preparation to be accepted to two of the top colleges in the nation. The Business program at WCC helped me to jump-start my college career 10 years after high school graduation. I am close to graduating with a BS in Finance from a top school and it all started at WCC.”

Karine Pitton (WCC ’14)
“Westchester Community College was a life changing experience for me. It was a crucial stepping stone for my future academic endeavors and provided me with the necessary tools to transfer to an Ivy-League school. At WCC, students are very fortunate to have access to excellent resources to make their college life experience an unforgettable one.”
