SUNY Jamestown Community College strives to supply a learning environment rich with real-world experiences at an affordable cost. Grants are critical to programs staying current, and at times becoming cutting edge. As an example, the college recently opened a virtual reality room that aims to benefit the Computer Science program initially, and grow to enrich the learning opportunities of every program on campus.
The spring semester at SUNY Jamestown Community College is underway on the college’s physical campuses, and at Collins Correctional Facility.
Now in its third semester, the program has seen growth in the number of incarcerated individuals participating, courses being offered, and instructors ready to provide them.
Karen Weyant, SUNY Jamestown Community College associate professor of English, recently had her first full-length book of poetry published.
Titled “Avoiding the Rapture,” the collection of poems centers on Weyant’s first-hand childhood encounters with a life that is challenging, but one that can also be tender, hopeful, and vibrant if fought for.

Amanda Hulbert is a success navigator and an admissions coordinator at SUNY Jamestown Community College who also happens to moonlight as an artist.
