Only at Western

The Chronicle of Higher Education has recognized Western Wyoming Community College in its 2010 “Great Colleges to Work For” program, which honors institutions for best practices and policies, such as teaching environment, repect and appreciation, and confidence of leadership.

WWCC is one of 97 colleges and universities recognized in its third annual list. Western was the only college in Wyoming to be recognized, results were based on responses from about 43,000 administrators, faculty and staff members at 275 institutions. The “Great Colleges” survey included a two-part assessment process: consulting firm Modern Think LLC administered a survey to employees, and an institutional audit captured demographics and workplace policies at each institution. Feedback from faculty and staff was the biggest factor in determining which colleges made the list.

For the past 50 years, Western Wyoming Community College has provided Southwest Wyoming with the opportunity to pursue higher education close to home. Without the talent and expertise of the faculty and staff this would not be possible, it is because of these individuals that the college has become an exceptional institution.
