Catalog of Programs

A college catalog can often encompass all

the information students need to know

about learning at the school. Students

already attending a college can use the

catalog to choose courses and plan

schedules for coming semesters.

Course Syllabi Review

Course syllabi are an integral part of college

courses as they communicate the instructor’s

outline for how the course will be conducted, what

the goals for the course are, course policies, and

expectations. Each campus collects and reviews

syllabi at the beginning of the semester to ensure

that WCCCD’s minimum expectations have been

met.

Community Outreach

English as a Second Language instructors

participated in a community outreach at the

Downtown Campus. They provided information on

program opportunities available at WCCCD.



The Learning Resource Centers help to promote information literacy with the bibliographic instruction

delivered to classes each day. The session consists of how to search the online public access catalog

(OPAC), how to search database collections, how to use citation tools, and various topics to promote

student success.

New National Institute of Manufacturing

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Gary Peters announced a new proposal to establish a National

the hub for federal manufacturing programs, promote efforts to help our workforce close the skills

gap and function as the focal point for developing a national strategy focused on ensuring American

manufacturing policy can rapidly respond to changes in the global marketplace. Through his visits

to manufacturers across Michigan, Peters has heard about the need for a unified strategy on

manufacturing to revitalize the industry and keep pace with competitors in other countries.
