Students interested in taking two-week winter session courses at Hudson Valley Community College will have an added incentive this year: free textbooks. The college will cover the cost of textbooks and shipping for all students interested in taking one or more of the intensive two-week classes that run from Jan. 2 through Jan. 14, 2021. “We know that many students struggle with the cost of higher education, especially in these difficult times,” Hudson Valley President Roger A. Ramsammy said.
