This annual report presents information on the public services provided by Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) in 1982-83. After introductory material defines public service and outlines laws and regulations governing their operation in New York's community colleges, an overview is provided of the three units at HVCC concerned with services for the private sector and the community at large: (1) the Continuing Education Office, which offers traditional and nontraditional students educational alternatives in the areas of occupational development, cultural awareness, self-improvement, and leisure activities; (2) the Public and Community Service Project Office, which offers a comprehensive training program to government agencies and, to some degree, private industries; and (3) the Office of Public Services, which coordinates programs for economic development and the improvement of the quality of professional and personal life. The following sections provide more detailed information about the functions, methods for identifying program needs, delivery systems, and 1982-83 activities and programs of each of the three offices. After a discussion of the scope of the public service capabilities of HVCC, which includes a list of the courses offered during the year, the report concludes with examples of anticipated programs for 1983-84.
