“There is so much excitement happening around campus and there’s a lot of things that every office has been working hard over this past summer to put on cool [events] for students this year. When students come back in the fall we will have our Welcome Day event, which I’m really looking forward to. We have two different times this year and that’s new for us because we want to make sure that we are engaging more students. I think students should be looking forward to it as well because they get to interact with all the resources on campus.”

“We’ll have our career fair Wednesday, Oct 16. In the two weeks leading up to that event we’ll have prep events like Resume-a-rama. This year we’ll be partnering with a lot of different student organizations on campus. As always this fall we’ll have workshop sessions to help with not only regular employment but also internships and learning ways to gain experience,” said Rue.
“Our mission is to assist students with their employment search. We can help with the job search, resume writing, and strengthening interviewing skills. If a student is looking for employment, either on campus or off, they can always come and see us to get some assistance. The big point is a lot of students think ‘I can only go to that office when I’m getting ready to graduate.’ No, we try to connect with students as early as possible in their time here at WCC,” said Wildfong.

“Our club sports are the same nine that we offer every semester. The only exception is going to be softball which is only offered in the spring. We rotate what intramurals we offer and that’s usually led by student interest. So if you know a couple people and they’re interested in tennis, we can offer intramural tennis. That’s how we determine our intramurals. We’ll potentially be doing flag football and a 3v3 basketball tournament,” said Trapp.
“I would say the upcoming club sports and tryouts. I think with the NBA playoffs we’re going to be doing a bracket challenge. It’s geared towards working and online students who aren’t able to come to campus all the time,” Banks said.
