As part of the celebrations for Women's History Month, we asked students and faculty/staff to share their thoughts about #WomensHistoryMonth and what it means to them. Today, CW student Miloskari Barbosa shares her thoughts.
1. What does Women History Month mean to you?
It is the month where you can embrace all empowered women who have stood up for their rights with confidence and self-love.
The CW Community opened their hearts again this season to donate toys and clothing to those in need. We are proud to have partnered with Marine Toys for Tots in White Plains. The CW family is happy to know that we’ll be helping make a child’s wish come true. It’s all about the holiday spirit of compassion and giving!

It’s National Distance Learning Week!
Running a family and pursuing a college degree, seem like mission impossible for many people. However, with Online Learning, CW student Lillian found the perfect balance. We asked her about her experience with distance learning and here’s what she had to say.
Distance Learning is effective for everybody, but especially for those who have a job and run a house. Online programs allow students to earn a high-quality education with the flexibility to balance their studies with work and home life. CW student Shantel perfectly knows the benefits of distance learning and is currently pursuing her degree at CW, hoping to continue her work in the health industry.
For CW student Denise, 2020 was a struggle as the pandemic hit hard in her life. Nevertheless, she has been fighting not only to recover from her personal losses, but also to obtain her college degree. Denise is definitely a great example of a CW warrior. She is a resilient and great fighter to pursue her dreams, no matter the obstacles.
Check out her story:
National Distance Learning Week (NDLW) was created to generate greater awareness and appreciation for distance learning while recognizing leaders and best practices in the field. This method of learning has taken center stage with the pandemic as it has been the only solution for students to continue with their education.

She has a job in the health industry and she loves it. However, she understands that in order to be able to help even more, she needs a college degree.
Kerly Loja chases all opportunities available for her. Coming from a developing country where professional opportunities are limited, she values even more the opportunity she has to obtain a college education. As part of our celebration of #FirstGenerationWeek we share a Q&A we had with Kerly:
