Vision
WCC aspires to be an effective learner-centered educational institution and a dynamic learning organization.

Learner-centered reflects our commitment to an environment which places learning first by offering inquiry-based educational experiences designed to engage students in the learning process and to encourage them to take ownership of their learning. Faculty, staff, and administrators serve as learning facilitators who create, assess, and continuously improve the learner-centered environment.

As a learning organization, we aspire to continually transform ourselves in order to fulfill our mission in a rapidly changing world, engaging in continuous improvement through assessment, planning, and responding to challenges and opportunities.
