Library Access
We are phasing in a new entry/exit system at the library. This new system will eventually require that ALL internal visitors (including students, faculty and staff) show a valid Westchester Community College ID before entering at the main entrance. During the next few weeks, we will allow entry to all, even if visitors do not have an ID. But at that time, we will advise visitors of the new rules and will expect them to get ID cards promptly. When February begins, students without IDs will be sent to the Security Office to get an ID before they may enter the library.
Lezginka Dance Event Cancelled
The Lezginka performance on February 10 has been cancelled. We regret that we will not be hosting this Russian Dance performance.

Faculty and staff contracts sent to Board of Legislators
President Miles joined Westchester County Executive George Latimer at a press conference on college employment contracts on Wednesday, January 10. He announced that he was sending the college’s faculty and staff contracts on to the Board of Legislators for consideration. “After nearly eight years working under expired contracts, our faculty and staff are one step closer to our collective goal of updated contracts,” said Dr. Miles. “We applaud the negotiating teams that came to the table and reached an agreement after I arrived three years ago, and we appreciate the action that takes these contracts to the next step in the process. We highly value all of our employees whose talents and efforts are what helps students receive quality education and relevant job training at Westchester Community College,” she said.
