New Faces Around Campus
If you find yourself on campus in coming weeks, you may notice some new faces. WVC has hired quite a few new employees in the past year, with many more slated to join the team in the next few months. Positions ranging from full-time instructor to maintenance have been filled, and more positions are opening. In addition to filling already existing positions, several new positions have been created at the college and will be filled in the coming months. Wabash Valley College has been fortunate in experiencing a steady period of growth, and thus we have been able to expand in ways previously untenable. Of note is the addition of several instructors and supporting positions to the Early Childhood Education program. Two new instructor positions are open to applications to take some of the burden from those already teaching large loads, and a few supporting roles involving the Education program are soon to be posted as well. A new Agricultural Technologies instructor, English instructor, and Perkins Coordinator who will be housed at WVC were among the recent additions to the Wabash family Wabash Valley College is growing, and plans to grow further with a goal of recruiting more than 100 international students in the next few years in addition to our efforts to grow in-district student numbers. As an indication of our success in recruiting a larger student body, international student numbers two years ago were in the 30’s (we had 39 in the spring and 33 in the fall of 2020). Last year there were 53. This year we have more than 70 international students among the IECC campuses! The number of incoming, first-time students at WVC already numbers more than 160, with more students expected to sign up before the first day of class.
