Northeast Wisconsin Technical College
ANNUAL REPORT
2010-2011

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear investors,
It is my pleasure to present the NWTC Annual Report for 2010-2011. Despite
the tumult and change, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College managed to
maintain its focus on meeting the needs of the students and communities it serves.
Often, we have met those needs by increasing access and opportunities. We use
technology and outreach locations to reach more students. New facilities like the
NWTC Northwoods Regional Learning Lab in Wausaukee and the Computer
Integrated Manufacturing Mobile Lab bring advanced technology to rural areas.
New degree programs in Gerontology, Marine Construction, Marine Engineering
Technology, Enology and Viticulture provide inroads to industries with strong job
potential. Yet access and opportunity are no longer enough.
Increasingly, what employers need—what we all need—are more graduates,
whose complete, flexible skill set helps businesses remain competitive. Our future
depends on our ability to help more people stay in school and graduate. This year,
the College intensified its focus on student success, defined as course mastery,
persistence in school, and attainment of credentials. Staff mined years of data and
conducted new research to find out where students fail and why they succeed.
We have already implemented mandatory orientation, new student financial tools,
new basic academic courses, phone calls to non-returning students, and more
changes are on the way. The people who enroll at NWTC have already made a
significant positive choice; we are here to make their journey easier and ensure
their progress.
In recognition, NWTC has been identified by the Aspen Institute as one of the
top 10 percent of colleges in the United States for promoting student success.
NWTC was the only Wisconsin college to be named among these “Achieving the
Dream” colleges. Through Achieving the Dream, what we are learning at NWTC
may be used nationwide by other colleges to help other students achieve their
dreams as well.
NWTC is committed to keeping people out of poverty, in the workforce and
thriving. It is our mission and our passion, and we could not do it without you.
Thank you for your support, and please let us know if there is a way we can help
you or someone you know achieve their dreams.
Sincerely,
Dr. H. Jeffrey Rafn, President
Celebrating 100 years of education
