College-wide

SUNY Jamestown Community College’s Laura Parmenter was recently honored with the Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching and Technology Excellence in Instructional Support award for community colleges by the State University of New York. 

Parmenter is JCC’s director of Online Learning and interim director of the Learning Commons, which provides students with access to library services, tutoring help, and accessibility support. 

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — SUNY Jamestown Community College’s annual Student Art & Design Exhibition opening reception and awards ceremony is set for 5-7 p.m. on Friday, May 2 at the Jamestown Campus Weeks Gallery. The event is free to attend and open to the public. 

Richard Thor’s life journey isn’t unlike many who have graduated from SUNY Jamestown Community College over the school’s 75 years. JCC might not have been in the original plans, or thought to be the best path forward, but ends up being a considerable launching pad to career success. 

Thor came back to his hometown of Jamestown in 1973 after serving in the Navy for four years. He was married and working the third shift at a grocery warehouse, 7 p.m. until 3 in the morning.
