Welcome Wagon

Dr. Schrader's Welcome Wagon travels NYC to personally greet incoming students and assure them of York College support.

Recognizing that incoming students were missing out on the excitement of beginning their college experience on campus during the COVID 19 Pandemic, in 2020 she created the KCC Welcome Wagon. Dr. Schrader traveled around Brooklyn and throughout NYC’s other boroughs to meet incoming students at their homes and jobs to welcome them to KCC, and assure them that they would find KCC and its president accessible, available, and ready to support their success. Her efforts have been featured on Spectrum News NY1 and in the NY Daily News, InsideHigherEd.com, Forbes, Positive Community Magazine and in a number of local newspapers.
