Editor's note:
It has been a privilege to compile the newsletter this year. Thank you to all who shared photos, welcomed me into your classrooms, and allowed me to crash your events with my phone in hand to capture the moment.
This issue was intended to have a yearbook feel. It is fully acknowledged that the pictures here represent the programs with in-person courses on campus, and that there are many online students in programs like Liberal Studies, Business Management, and Human Services going unrepresented. My challenge to you is to share a photo via email to bfarrar@wccc.me.edu if you are not finding yourself pictured here. This is a living document and can be updated. I look forward to receiving your submissions.
Best regards,
Bernadette

RAs Mackenzie Hewitt and Nathan Crossley had a from-scratch baking/cooking extravaganza.
Mackenzie made the homemade pasta and Nathan baked the bread. Looks like a successful attempt was made by both! YUM!
Some of the ingredients were sourced from our own Caring Cupboard. What great items have you found at the CC to create a successful meal?
Thanks for sharing, Mackenzie and Nathan. Maybe you can show the rest us of how you did this next year!
