Dr. Edward H.
Wilson, Jr. previously
was employed at WCC
from 1973 to 1981
before he became the
current President.
He worked with
continuing education
and curriculum programs
and served as liaison
with business and
industry.
With this record of
service, Wilson has a
unique perspective on
long-term change at the
col1ege.
While such obvious
changes as the new
campus and some new
faculty and staff have
occurred since his
first association with
WCC, Wilson said the
school is essentially
the same.
On Friday, December
10, 1993, at its
Christmas celebration,
Wayne Community College
recognized 3 employees
for excellence with a
plaque and $500 which
the Foundation of WCC
provides.
The 1992 Employees
of the Year served as
presenters: P.A. Best
presented the
Professional Staff
award to Earl Davis;
Marie Lewis presented
the Professional
Support Staff award to
He expressed
satisfaction with the
consistency and
experience of the
faculty and staff.
With the accelera
tion of technology,
however, WCC must adapt
to changes, Wilson
said.
One way the college
remains current is by
becoming one of the
first 12 community
colleges linked into
the new Information
Highway.
Wilson said that
many of the network's
uses were as yet
undetermined, but he
sees advantages.
"Probably our most
immediate use of it
will be teaching
classes among the
institutions that are
on the Highway," he
said.
He explained that
arrangements would need
to be made among the
first members about
these classes and
studios would have to
be set up to
accommodate them.
The recent passage
of the bond referendum
will bring more change
for the college.
Wilson immediately
mentioned construction.
"We'll be adding 2
new buildings on campus
and one off campus," he
said, describing with
some pride the
college's imminent
growth.
One building will be
added behind the MSS
Building to house
certain automotive
classes, agriculture
laboratories, and
heating and air
conditioning cla:sses
still on the old
campus.
Another will be an
addition to the HS
Building to provide
room for new allied
health programs.
A third will be
added at the Gold-Wayne
Airport to provide a
permanent location for
aviation classes
currently housed in
trailers.
