Waubonsee Community College will provide new experiences for this year’s graduating class.

My heart is filled with joy whenever I think of my experiences as a student and student trustee at Waubonsee Community College.

When I was asked to be the 2020 commencement faculty marshal for Waubonsee Community College, I was truly honored because commencement is my very favorite day of the school year. I envisioned myself leading Waubonsee faculty into the Field House followed by each of you as graduates walking in while your family and friends proudly watch. Then the crisis we never saw coming came. Coronavirus changed all of our lives and plans.

All of Waubonsee Community College’s summer classes will be conducted online and through alternative delivery methods.

The month of May is a wonderful time for many college students. Graduates feel a sense of elation as they move on to the next phase of their academic or career journeys and other students enjoy a sense of accomplishment for all they have done in the year. We celebrate with all of those students.

The Waubonsee Community College Small Business Development Center (SBDC) has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO).

Unprecedented. I feel like almost everything I read anymore has this word somewhere in the first sentence. It’s true. These are unprecedented times for all of us. At Waubonsee Community College we’re very aware of the struggle, not just for us as employees, but especially for our students. In Student Development we are working hard to make sure we can maintain the services students need and want to be successful.

Waubonsee Community College welcomes Sharon Garcia to the position of Dean for Communications, Humanities, and Arts.

I was in high school in 2000 the first time I was involved in the U.S. census. My mom asked me to fill out the census form. She was concerned because she saw that it was mandatory but didn’t feel comfortable filling it out. She asked me to help her since I was the oldest. What stood out to me was all of the pages on the paper form. I was only a teen so I was confused by all of the questions about my family such as how many of us lived in our home and our ages.
