Dear Kingsborough students,

I am not an athlete.  In high school I dabbled in volleyball.  In elementary school we a school field day, which was a day all the Catholic schools would get together and complete in a series of track and field events like relay races and 100- and 200-meter races, volleyball and kickball.  True story-- my mother recently reminded me that when I would run in races, that if lost, I would literally bawl all the way home. I claim amnesia, because I don’t remember that, but I do remember the plastic gold or silver trophies I would get when I did win or place in the top three.  

KCC students, whether you started KCC this semester, last year, or the year before that, you are in the home stretch.    At the finish line are final exams, graduation, transfer and/or employment.    And all I want you to do is win, win, win. So, get ready.

• Make sure that you are up to date with all your assignments and that you have a plan for studying and completing your final papers and projects.   
• If you are graduating this semester, be sure to read all your emails as they will include important information about events leading up to graduation. 
• If you are continuing make sure that you register for the summer and fall semesters as soon as possible so that you can get the classes you need to stay on track.  You don’t want to run the risk of a class being closed because it has reached its maximum enrollment, or cancelled because everyone decided to wait too long to register for it.
• If you are still thinking about transferring and haven’t yet applied to one of the four-year colleges, email Dorcelus@kbcc.cuny.eduto set up an appointment. And if you are still on the hunt for a job or you need help with your resume, email Marisa.Joseph@kbcc.cuny.edu.
