Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C,I-Corning) paid a visit to the Greater Southern Tier (GST) BOCES New Visions students at the Bush Education Center to discuss politics, government and day-to-day life in the NYS Assembly. GST BOCES is dedicated to providing unique and practical educational experiences above and beyond those experienced in the classroom. New Visions courses are designed for motivated, accelerated, college-bound seniors.

“The Greater Southern Tier BOCES has been a great asset to the development of young people throughout the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes,” said Palmesano. “The New Visions students represent a dedicated group of aspiring young people. The opportunity for these students to learn firsthand and engage in practical learning they may not receive in the classroom will be invaluable to their educations. I hope GST BOCES continues to be an asset to the development of young people in the region.”
