The new and improved Free Application for Federal Student Aid is here. SUNY Jamestown Community College is building a team to help prospective students and their families navigate the FAFSA form, which helps determine a student's eligibility for financial aid.

SUNY Jamestown Community College welcomed three new full-time faculty members for the Spring 2024 semester.

Dr. Lillian Truong, who taught remotely last semester as an adjunct, is an assistant professor of Biology/Chemistry. She earned a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular physiology from Albany Medical College and has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from SUNY Albany.

Two students from SUNY Jamestown Community College and their advisor attended the Student Veterans of America National Convention this month in Nashville, Tennessee. Yeidy Bishop and Matthew Adams, along with Don Pool, coordinator of Accessibility Services and Military and Veterans Club United advisor, were able to share ideas and best practices with student veterans, military-connected students, and other supporters, as well as corporate, government and nonprofit partners. 

SUNY Jamestown Community College is enhancing course offerings starting this spring semester by adding seven HyFlex courses to its catalog.
 
While many instructors have continued post-pandemic to make it possible for students to attend classes online as needed, HyFlex courses aim to combine in-person and online learning more formally. Students enrolled in any of JCC’s HyFlex courses will be able to attend class in person on campus, virtually through Zoom, or entirely outside of the class meeting times.

SUNY Jamestown Community College earned four top-ranked awards for 2024 by Intelligent.com.

SUNY Jamestown Community College was recently recognized as one of AmeriCorps’ “Schools of National Service.” 

JCC offers in-state tuition to any out-of-state AmeriCorps alumni, and a one-year enrollment deferral to accepted students who choose to participate in an AmeriCorps program.

JCC was among 15 SUNY colleges and universities to earn the designation because of the incentives and financial rewards they provide to alumni of AmeriCorps, State University of New York Chancellor John B. King, Jr. announced in October.

It’s time for another “Whoooodunnit!” Though each one has been unique, the SUNY Jamestown Community College Alumni Association’s 35th annual interactive mystery also celebrates a significant local milestone.

The Chautauqua County Sheriff's Academy recently awarded recruit Aaron Pacos with the Dan Feather Memorial Scholarship. 

Verna Feather created the scholarship to honor her husband, the late Dan Feather, who was an 18-year veteran of the Jamestown Police Department. Each year a Chautauqua County resident attending the Sheriff’s Academy who is noted for their professionalism and character receives the award, which was $1,400 this year.
