It is a time for changes!

The Center for Personal & Professional Development at Rockland Community College has been using its catalog as the primary source of communication about our programs for many years. Recently, we began moving towards our website at www.sunyrockland.edu/cppd as a secondary source of information. This semester we will be making a change so that the website will be our primary source. We will still be printing our catalog each semester and distributing it to convenient locations at the college and around the county, but we will no longer be mailing it to every resident in the county. Instead, we will be advertising upcoming events closer to their offering and updating our programs frequently so you can constantly be aware of the opportunities we bring to you.

The Fall 2008 catalog is the last catalog that will be automatically sent to your home.

If you still wish to receive a hard copy mailed to your home, please fill out the attached form below and email to us. You can also call us at 845-574-4234 if you wish.

Why are we doing this?  There are many advantages:

• You will always have the most current information available on line
• You will see promotions about upcoming programs as they become available
• You will still have the option of receiving or picking up a copy of the catalog
• It is good for the environment

We are committed to serving your needs, both personally and professionally. As you look through this web site, you will see that we offer a broad range of programs designed to give you choices you want at affordable prices. Whether you are looking to develop a personal skill, learn a new professional skill, or upgrade your professional skills, you need look no further. RCC’s Center for Personal & Professional Development is your source for the programs you need.

Just take a look at the index of programs offered. Whether you are interested in health care workshops, real estate appraisal workshops, accounting seminars, computer classes, children’s programs, senior’s programs, English as a second language, and much more, you will find that we have something for you.

We also have on-line course offerings available for you. Just go to www.ed2go.com/sunyrcc or www.gatlineducation.com/sunyrockland and take a look at the wide variety of choices available for you to use in the comfort of your home and at your convenience.

We are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through our website at www.sunyrockland.edu/cppd. Here you can find information about all our programs, and even register online as well.

Of course, you are also welcome to call us at 845-574-4151 to speak to a friendly and helpful representative who will answer your questions or help you register.

And most important, please feel free to contact us at the above number or by email at conted@sunyrockland.edu and let us know how we are doing!
