When Laurie Halse Anderson was 10 years old she had a Wonder Woman poster on the closet door of her bedroom. Today the Onondaga Community College Alumna and New York Times Bestselling Author's latest book is making its worldwide debut. Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed is a 208 page graphic novel published by DC Comics. "It's crazy, right? Wonder Woman has been my hero since I was a little girl. To have the opportunity to write a story about her and be part of this legacy of creative people for decades was the thrill of a lifetime.”

Coronavirus has changed a lot of things for all of us, and the path you were once considering might not be what you want to choose anymore. Investing in your future is a big decision and comes with making decisions about where you’ll go and how to pay for it. There are many ways to customize your education, but let’s talk about the visiting year.

As we battle coronavirus together, tracing exposures to COVID is important to stop the spread.

The NYS Contact Tracing Program works with confirmed positive COVID-19 people to determine who they have been in contact with. Trained specialists reach out to those contacts about possible exposure. If you have been identified as a contact you will get a call from “NYS Contact Tracing” (518-387-9993).

Students and their families, many of whom have recently lost jobs or had their hours reduced, face an uncertain future. Many are understandably questioning the choices that just a few months ago seemed certain. A recent study released by Junior Achievement and Citizens Bank found that almost 60% of high school students are concerned about the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on their future plans, with 44% concerned about affording college, and a third planning to delay the start of college.
