WELCOME TO
“COMMUNITY”
Bob C. Thompson
Wilkes Community College has
always been the “peoples col
lege.” People throughout our
service area, particularly Wilkes
County, affectionally refer to it as
going to “Community”. During
the last few years, many events
have taken place to enhance and
expand the feeling throughout the
service area that the college truly
does belong to the people, and it is
here for them to view, walk on
and participate in; the people
know that the college is improving
the quality of their life. The fact

that the people feel that the
college belongs to them and that
they take pride in the institution is
evident by the fact that prospect
ive students, week-end guests, real
estate clients, dates, garden club
enthusiast, prospects for employ
ment and visitors are driven on
the campus to see Wilkes
Community College. One pros
pective student, writing for an
application for admission, stated
in her letter, “if the college is as
beautiful on the inside as it is on
the outside it truly is beautiful”.
An atmosphere of openness,
freedom and accessability has
been created, which in turn,
fosters the feeling and reality of
“Community”. From the office
of Student Services, we wish to
express a warm welcome to each
new Freshman and returning
student as you begin the 1982
academic year at Wilkes “Com
munity” College.
Maybe our children are spoiled
rotten because we’ve given them
everything we didn’t have and
forgotten to give them those
things we did have.
vations have taken place over the
summer, such as a new lab in
room #406, new concrete walk
ways between Thompson and
Hayes Halls, and several addition
al outside directional signs are in
the process of being added to the
new ones.
The beautiful college book
store, which has many exciting
items is ready to serve you; the
excellent security and traffic
control personnel are ready to
help you as well as all the other
personnel in the Administrative
Services Area. We wish each of
you a very successful school year!
