There is currently a problem calling the Aurora Downtown and Aurora Fox Valley Campuses from off those campuses. This issue only applies to dialing the general campus numbers of 630-801-7900 number for the Aurora Campus and 630-585-7900 for the Fox Valley Campus. Calling a direct extension is working.

Each academic year in November, December and April, many colleges with football and basketball programs celebrate their incoming student-athletes when the students sign a letter of intent.

At Waubonsee, that happens not just with student-athletes, but with student-auto technicians.

For many of us, some of our most enriching relationships were made in college. The diversity of thought represented by fellow students, faculty and staff expanded our views beyond those of our immediate family and social circle. This diversity continues to enhance the higher education experience and particularly the community college experience. Community colleges feature diversity such as generational differences, ethnic backgrounds, veterans status, religious affiliations, family composition, work experience and more.
