Walla Walla Community College Open House Aug.18

  Walla Walla-Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) invites future college students, parents, and others to an Open House from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 18. The event will be held at the main building (Building D) at the Walla Walla Campus.

 The Open House will offer activities and information tables from several WWCC academic programs, including Allied Health, Cosmetology/Barbering/Nail Tech, Culinary Arts, Diesel Technology, Early Childhood Education, John Deere Technology, Nursing Education, and the college's Bachelors of Applied Science programs. There will also be information on High School programs, Transitional Studies, and Continuing/Community Education.

Staff will be on hand to provide information about services including Career, Disability Support, WWCC Library, and the Center for Integrated Learning.

"Whether you are starting college for the first time or returning to finish what you started, it's not too late to get started for this Fall Quarter," said Melissa Rodriguez, director of Outreach.

Open House visitors will have the opportunity to tour the new Student Rec Center, play games, and win prizes. Free pizza and other refreshments will be available.  

New student registration is underway for Fall Quarter. WWCC offers in-person, online, and blended instruction, providing many options to create a perfect schedule for each student.

 Those unable to attend the Open House are welcome to drop by campus Mondays through Thursdays during regular business hours for help with admissions, educational planning, and financial aid.

 "New students, or those who are returning after a break in their education, will be able to apply for Warrior Pledge, a wonderful program that helps eligible students with costs not covered by financial aid," Rodriguez said.
