Steve Neal Visits Campus
Wednesday, January 20, WCC was visited by Congressman Stephen
Neal. Congressman Neal was met by Dr. Daniel, and after a short talk.
Dr. Daniel took Mr. Neal on a tour of some of the areas of the college.
After the tour the group adjourned to the Tory Oak Room for a meal
prepared by the hotel and restaurant management class. Following the
meal, the group continued visiting some of the offices and then returned
to Dr. Daniel’s office before leaving. Congressman Neal was planning
to visit some of the local high schools in the area, but due to the closing
of the schools, he did not have the chance.
