Sevinch one of our newest students

What do you call a high school student who got in front of her college degree by enrolling in Kingsborough Community College’s College Now program to earn college credit, and has aspirations serve on the frontline of patient care? I call her Sevinch one of our newest students heading to Kingsborough this fall to start a major in Nursing! #kccwelcomewagon

KCC Welcome Wagon Travels to Shaolin

CUNY Kingsborough #WelcomeWagon recently took a road trip to the shore of Shaolin to welcome new incoming student Keaira. They both received a special treat -- Keaira, KCC Swag and President Schrader -- a unique tour of Port Richmond's outside art.

A KCC Family Legacy Continues

Recently, the CUNY Kingsborough #WelcomeWagon found its way to Jonathan. He's not the first in his family to attend #CUNYkcc; he is the latest in the long list of #KCCLegacies: his dad, his grandmother and his sisters all attended Kingsborough. We had the pleasure of knowing one sister, Diane, when she served as the SGA President. Sadly, she passed away a few months after completing her degree. We know she would be proud of her brother. Jonathan is a computer science major. #CUNYkcc President Schrader suggested to him to consider continuing the legacy of his sister Diane and become a member of the SGA, but he has another extracurricular interest on his mind: #WAVE #basketball. Let's cheer for Jonathan's success on and off the court!

KCC Welcome Wagon Greets Natakii

After filling up the CUNY Kingsborough #WelcomeWagon gas tank President Schrader and Dr. Johana I. Rivera #CUNYKCC's VP hit the road to greet our newest student: Natakii our soon-to-be Business Administration major, but it turns out that a second welcome was in order. Later that day, Natakii’s four year-old was accepted to KCC’s Child Care Center. Now we have 2 from the same family at the same time! How awesome is that!#communitycollege #studentsuccess #studentsupport

#KCC WelcomeWagon Visits Ryan

The latest CUNY Kingsborough Welcome Wagon was heartwarming. Let me give you some background first. Long before President Schrader became a college president she was a Special Educator and worked with infants and toddlers with sensory impairments, developmental delays and special needs. So when she learned that a new student who has autism was heading to KCC in the fall, “I was over the moon to welcome him and his mom to our community.” Welcome Ryan to #CUNYkcc Shout out to all the #specialeducators #appliedbehavioranalysts #speechtherapists, #occupationaltherapists #physicaltherapists #moms and #dads for pouring into those students who need a bit more and helping them get to the next level.

The #KCCWelcomeWagon hits the road, with the GPS giving directions to #Queens to welcome a Queen and a future nurse! She told President Schrader how much she already loves CUNY/Kingsborough Community College and Schrader told her how much she hates needles. #kccwelcomewagon.

As high school students Ashora and Jordan participated in College Now. After two years at Kingsborough, they completed all their courses. She's off to John Jay and he is off to the world of work.

In the two years since we visited Juliana, she completed her degree, got a new job, and is getting ready to transfer to John Jay!

We hit the road to welcome Brianna who is thinking about playing basketball for KCC, and Ashley who is definitely joining the Volleyball team.

Just another beautiful day on the @cunykcc #WelcomeWagon in the County of Kings #Brooklyn welcoming a future Physical Therapist and a future Computer Scientist to KCC. Watch out world!

 It's a late afternoon Welcome Wagon ride, but this adult learner/ first-year student proves it’s never too late to pursue your dreams! And she did it by way of the KCC pathway!
