Western Nevada College recently issued the following announcement on August 27.
How often have you heard someone say, “I didn’t know Western Nevada College was up there?” or “I didn’t know WNC has multiple campuses, modern technology and facilities, and offers a variety of programs and workforce training opportunities.”
Knowing that not everyone has the time to visit and learn more about WNC’s campuses in Carson City, Fallon and Minden, Western has invested in bringing the college to you!
WNC’s website at wnc.edu now includes a virtual tour feature so individuals can see Western’s beautiful campuses and gain more insight into the programs the college offers. Access it at https://www.massinteract.com/western-nevada-college/.
“The addition of this new feature to our website will bring more traffic to our website and better assist people in learning about the many amenities our campuses offer,” said WNC President Dr. Vincent Solis. “During the current health pandemic, we realize that it is not easy or possible for some people to visit our campuses to learn what we can provide them.
This new feature should alleviate that discord and create a better connection with the people who we serve.”
There are buttons for each campus to put you precisely in the location that you want for additional information. There are also information boxes for each location to help the visitor learn more about academic programs as well as the campus. Maybe you want to look at the facilities where Western’s Paramedicine or Nursing classes meet, or learn more about Jack C. Davis Observatory or the Andy Butti Welding Technology Center. The virtual tour will take you there!
Students will appreciate taking a virtual tour of Western before a semester begins to become familiar with the campuses.
“The virtual tour will help eliminate some of the worries of our new students before the semester starts since they will be able to know exactly where their classes are located in each building,” said Student Life Coordinator Heather Rikalo. “We are so pleased that this new tool showcases our campuses and provides our students with the key information they are looking for.”
New degree and certificate-seeking students meet with a counselor, take placement tests and attend an orientation to prepare for attending WNC. The addition of the virtual tour will make students more prepared when they come to WNC, but that doesn’t mean that the tool is a deterrent from touring the campus in person.
“Western Nevada College’s virtual campus tour offers prospective students and their families the chance to explore our campuses and experience the Wildcat experience from the comfort and safety of their own home,” said Admissions and Records Director Dianne Hilliard. “Come tour our facilities and learn about the vast opportunities for a quality education in a supportive atmosphere.”
