Student Life

Culture Days focus on Swedish culture and the Swedish-American experience, though one does not need to be of Swedish origin to attend. Gatherings include workshops, presentations, and Swedish-inspired food, lingonberry juice, and coffee. 

The presentation/workshop schedule is as follows: 

March 1: Cooking Easter buns, knitting, wood carving, painting, and Scandinavian ancestry research  

April 5: Swedish immigration and lunch for students at noon 

Join us to celebrate the earth and learn how our local agricultural systems work to protect and conserve our planet's resources. The event will feature educational and informational displays and exhibits from local environmental organizations, student groups, eco-friendly businesses, and public agencies. 


 

Free doughnuts will be available to students.

The Weeks Gallery hosts five published JCC poets and educators. Neil Flory, Justin March, Christopher Munde, Nicholas Smith, and Karen Weyant will take turns reading original works. The JCC Art Faculty Exhibition will be on view during the event, which is free to attend and open to the public. 

The Cattaraugus County Campus Art Club and Success Center is ready to help you create a vision board for the spring semester. All supplies are provided.

A vision board is a collage of images, words, and quotes that visually represent a person's goals, dreams, and aspirations, acting as a tool to motivate them to achieve their desired life by regularly visualizing their future through this visual representation.

Gratitude has been proven to have a positive impact on mood and stress. Join us to learn simple strategies to bring more gratitude into your everyday life.

Don't let stress hold you back from achieving your goals. Join us to learn about the types of stress, symptoms of stress and techniques to manage it. You will leave this workshop with new ways to cope with stress.

Join us for practical tips to help you minimize distractions, optimize your student environment and make the most of your valuable time. You will leave this workshop feeling empowered and equipped with skills to increase your productivity.
