Twice a year, Washtenaw Community College opens its doors for Free College Day. The event allows community members to get a taste of the educational opportunities WCC students experience every day. The fall event was held Sept. 30 and included demonstrations in welding, videography, advanced manufacturing and other programs. It was held alongside the college’s 15th Annual Cars and Bikes on Campus, a car and motorcycle show.
