As we welcome in 2013….a time ofnew beginnings for all of us, we alsoreflect back on a Fall and EarlyWinter that began with the Openingcelebration of the Center forWorkforce Development andProfessional Studies.

We also remain mindful of thedevastation that has impacted somany lives and property as a result

of Hurricane Sandy and the Nor’easter that followed it….and our hearts go out to allthe people and communities that still remain affected by its aftermath.

The Fall also brought recognition to Lourdes Mangual de Delgado, ContinuingEducation’s Marketing Coordinator, for receiving the Continuing EducationAssociation of New York (CEANY) Award for Outstanding Marketing. Lourdes workstirelessly to identify new ways for us to reach our expanding audience of learners.

The New Year brings a farewell to our Assistant Dean, Lorraine Altman. Lorraine isretiring after over 10 years spent planting the seeds and expanding the vision ofwhat is possible in lifelong learning and workforce development opportunities forresidents of the Bronx and Upper Manhattan.
