Dozens of St. Francis College students and employees – along with members of the broader Brooklyn Heights community – received free COVID-19 tests on August 25th, thanks to a collaboration between the College and Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE), a national non-profit whose work includes increasing access to such tests in New York City.

More than a dozen St. Francis College students recently wrapped up an innovative online boot camp that aims to prepare young people from underrepresented populations for careers on Wall Street.With IHS Markit as the sponsor, SFC partnered with Wall Street Bound, Inc., a non-profit that delivered a three-week curriculum of workshops and guest speakers focused on building students' professional skills and providing them mentorship.

St. Francis College is now enrolling students in its first fully online degree program, marking another step in the College's years-long strategy to integrate state-of-the-art online learning in its curriculum.A Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Movement Science is the inaugural program St. Francis College Online, a new online learning destination that will allow students to earn SFC degrees remotely in a range of emerging fields with strong job prospects

"I am happy to let you know that our fall 2020 plan is now available on our new Back to Brooklyn web page.You'll see that it thoughtfully covers all aspects of what you can expect come September, from the health and safety measures in place on campus to how our classes will work."

In order to continue to safeguard the health and well-being of our SFC community, we have come to the difficult decision to cancel the planned in-person Commencement in August.

"The SFC Committee for Reopening is methodically and thoughtfully working out the details of a phased return-to-campus plan we're calling Back To Brooklyn.We aim to have our Back To Brooklyn plan complete by July 30th. Prior to then, we'll unveil a new Back To Brooklyn web page that will include key decisions made to date, some of which – such as about fall 2020 course instruction - we've already communicated in messages that you can read in the "Latest Updates" section of our COVID-19 information web page."

St. Francis College continues to train its faculty on advanced skills to educate students online, thanks to an innovative certification program the College launched last year.
