Winter Reading Bingo Attention all book lovers! The WVC Library is hosting a Winter Reading Bingo from December through the end of February. Readers can grab some books from our campus library, or their own personal collection, and start aiming for four in a row. All students, faculty, staff, and community members are encouraged to participate. Stop into the Bauer Media Center, grab a bingo card, and get to reading. Complete as many "bingos" as you can to increase your chances to win a prize. For added competition, each of the IECC schools is participating in the reading challenge. At the end of February, each campus will total up its number of completed bingo cards; the winner will receive a trophy to proudly display amongst their bookshelves. WINTER HIGHLIGHTS Warriors Lead We are so proud of our students for their community effort and volunteering at the end of the fall semester. We had students volunteer their time to: ring bells and collect donations for Salvation Army, set up and tear down for Wabash County's annual Uptown Christmas festival, and even build a float and walk in the Mount Carmel Christmas Parade. We love being a community college and we love that our students are getting involved in support of local events.
Team USA Clay Dempsey a sophomore on our Wabash Valley College Archery team has added to his list of accomplishments. Clay has already won an impressive number of state, collegiate, and national archery titles but now has been given a chance to represent Team USA in international competitions. Congratulations, Clay! 62 Years Founded in 1960, Wabash Valley College is entering 2023 with 62 years under its belt. Here's to another year of learning, growth, and success.
Our Biggest Fan At the end of the fall semester, several of our men's basketball players visited their biggest fan. Ray, a resident of Oakview Nursing Home, has been a longtime Warriors basketball fan. He was a frequent visitor to Spencer Sports Center events but, because of his current health, has been unable to attend games in person. However, Ray is often seen with a radio to his ear, listening for updated scores and play-by-plays from his favorite team. As an early Christmas present, WVC President Dr. Fowler and Head Coach Issac Woodajo brought the team by for a surprise visit. Ray offered some encouragement and advice to the players and the young men gave him autographed pictures along with several hats and t-shirts.
