HELP BRING AFFORDABLE TECHNICAL HIGHER EDUCATION TO YONKERS

HELP BRING AFFORDABLE TECHNICAL HIGHER EDUCATION TO YONKERS


Would you like to help inspire Yonkers students to complete high school
by persuading the State University of New York to open an accessible,
affordable technical and engineering college in downtown Yonkers?

Join the Committee for SUNY-Yonkers

The Yonkers City Council has just passed a unanimous resolution
supporting the idea. The Chancellor of SUNY has agreed to consider it.
But to make it happen, we will need to mobilize representatives of
Yonkers’ business, labor, education, religious and grass-roots communities
to lobby SUNY, its Trustees, the NYS Regents, Governor and Legislature.

Would you like to help?

Next meeting of the Committee for SUNY-Yonkers:
7 p.m., Monday, March 12, 2007
Cross County Shopping Center Office of Westchester Community College
6 Xavier Drive, 5th fl
Yonkers
