Extra-Curricular Functions Western Nebraska Community College’s campuses have a wide variety of ways to involve the community. Examples of community involvement in extra-curricular or community-based activities include the following: 1. Multicultural Youth Conference WNCC’s Multicultural Youth Conference is produced by students and staff from the College’s United Leaders for Cultural Diversity organization, as well as admissions and outreach personnel. The annual event serves approximately 400 high-school and middleschool students from all parts of WNCC’s service area. The organizers received the 2008 Latino Organization of the Year award at the Hispanic Heritage Celebration in Lincoln. 2. Senior Day High school seniors from across WNCC’s service area are invited to its campuses, where they view presentations about financial aid, registration, tutoring, and program offerings. 3. Nebraska AIDS Walk Western Nebraska Community College has strong ties to the Panhandle AIDS Project, with faculty members serving on its Board of Directors. The College has participated for a number of years, and in the past two years, WNCC and its students raised over $2,000 each year to support the cause. 4. Athletic Camps WNCC offers a wide variety of athletic camps, as it has for different sports over the last 40 years, including basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, and soccer. Individuals attending the camps range in age from 5 through 19, and each camp can accommodate between 50–100 students. 5. District Music Contest Every spring, WNCC hosts the District Music Contest in connection with local schools. Approximately 1,500 students and 26 music instructors attend annually from 15 different high schools. This event has taken place at WNCC for approximately 20 years. 6. Aviation Fly-In For the past 11 years, the Sidney Aviation Vocair Flying club has hosted a Fly-In Breakfast in the fall. In 2008, breakfast was served at the Aviation Program facilities to a total of 335 people, comprised of 313 community members and 22 pilots. The Young Eagles program (for youths from ages 8 to 14 who are interested in flying) also provided 37 flights. 7. United Way Each year, WNCC becomes a corporate partner in the fund drive in Scottsbluff and Alliance (Sidney has a separate agency). Normally, the Scottsbluff and Alliance group raise between $5,000--$7,000 for the charity. Page 164 Western Nebraska Community College
