WALLA WALLA—Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) is looking forward to meeting prospective students, parents, and other community members at an Open House to be held on the Walla Walla campus from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, June 24.

“We are excited to be back on campus and are ready to serve students in person,” said Melissa Rodriguez, Director of Outreach. “Now is a great time to start – or complete – an educational program, particularly because most of our students can qualify for financial assistance to get started. We are here and ready to help with admissions, educational planning, and financial aid.”

The Open House will feature information tables on the following programs:

Nursing 

Culinary Arts

Computer Science

Bachelor of Applied Science Degrees

Workforce Programs 

TRiO – support program for students who are first-generation, low income, and/or have disabilities

Transitional Studies (English Language Acquisition/GED) and First-Year Experience

Community partners – Blue Mountain Action Council (BMAC), Early Childhood Education & Assistant Program (ECEAP) Preschool and WorkSource

In addition to learning information about WWCC and its programs, Open House visitors will have the opportunity to tour the new Student Rec Center, play games, and win prizes. Following COVID-19 guidelines set by Gov. Jay Inslee, visitors will be required to wear facemasks and those entering interior spaces will be asked to complete a quick, online COVID Symptom Screening form.

New student registration is underway. By the fall quarter, the WWCC expects to provide in-person instruction for those who want it and virtual or blended instruction for those who prefer alternatives. Those who can’t make the Open House are welcome to drop by the campus Mondays through Thursdays, during normal business hours, for help with admissions, educational planning, and financial aid.

Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) currently serves 7,535 full and part-time students, with approximately one-third being historically underrepresented students of color. The college offers two applied baccalaureates, 53 degrees, and 52 certificate programs. It serves Asotin, Columbia, Garfield, and Walla Walla counties.
