Human Resources<br />
Dedicated, well-trained faculty and staff members are among the institution’s most valuable<br />
resources. <strong>WNCC</strong> has sufficiently trained employees to fulfill the job descriptions comparable to<br />
other community college in the state, as well as to meet the teaching mission of a community<br />
college in general. Because of an ethic of lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity, as well as the<br />
ability of instructors to move on the salary scale based on educational attainment, <strong>WNCC</strong> currently<br />
has four full-time faculty members seeking advanced degrees, three in education and one in<br />
psychology. The Online Learning and Services Director is also pursuing a doctorate.<br />
