View from the Valley
Editor’s Note A lot happening again on our campus this month. For up-to-date events and information, be sure to follow us on our social media: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Youtube. In case you missed it in last month's issue: "We know education neither starts nor ends with us. We also recognize that we are a stepping stone for many in pursuing their educational and career goals. WVC is proud and honored to serve students who choose to start with us. With this in mind, we are inviting our alumni to share a bit about their educational and career journey. Beginning next month, The View from the Valley would like to recognize our Wabash Valley College alumni and their outstanding achievements. If you would like to share your story, contact us at 618-263-5033 or leachj@iecc.edu." After that was published, I was volun-told to be the first Alumni Spotlight; I am reluctant to do so. One, because I do not like to talk about myself. Two, because I know my story is not unique. Regardless, you can read about it on page 02.
I hope you enjoy reading about community and campus happenings in this issue.

It’s officially my favorite time of the year: Autumn! I love so many things about autumn: Halloween (my all-time favorite holiday), cozy drinks, bonfires, the colorful nature, harvest moons, sweaters, pumpkins, and more autumn goodness. As the leaves change, the campus culture of Wabash Valley College (WVC) and the Mt. Carmel community changes as well. WVC clubs are starting to pick up momentum and get involved with students and the community. The Student Senate is planning on having a Trunk-or-Treat on Halloween and WVC clubs/sports are participating! I’m excited to see everyone in different costumes, trick-or- treaters get their favorite candies, and see WVC and the community get together for a spooky Halloween event. It’s football season, too, which means I’m often filming highlights for the Mt. Carmel High School Golden Aces’ football games. If you go to a Mt. Carmel football game at the Riverview Stadium, you’ll most likely see me walking on the edge of the field getting shots. I’ve only been almost trampled over by football players twice!
Through this VFTW volume, I hope you notice the positive changes and development in WVC and the community. Grab your favorite autumn drink and read on!
Peace! Maggee Bleyer
