SCORE Syracuse will offer a free webinar at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10, to provide participants with SCORE's template to write a business plan. Organizers will also provide worksheets to layout and create a professional and complete business plan for starting a new business.

SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) will celebrates Black History Month with a special program, "Year of the Return: The Arrival of Enslaved Africans to the USA," which will be virtual and open to the public.

Dr. Malika Carter, chief diversity officer at ESF, will host the Zoom program to share knowledge about "The Year of the Return," and subsequent acknowledgements referred to as “Beyond the Return.” In 2019, Ghana successfully hosted "The Year of Return," a year-long program of activities to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first recorded enslaved Africans in Virginia in the United States.
