Today, we join the countless fans around the world remembering the incredible life and legacy of Dolly Parton.

Through MerleFest, Wilkes Community College has had the privilege of celebrating the artists and music that bring people together, and Dolly’s influence on bluegrass, country, and American music will continue to inspire generations to come.

Our hearts are with the Parton family and everyone whose lives were touched by her remarkable talent and generosity. ❤️

We saved one more celebration for our Alleghany Center students!

Yesterday, Wilkes Community College wrapped up the Week of Welcome with Pizza With the President at the Alleghany Center of Wilkes Community College.

Dr. Mike Rodgers spent time visiting with students, answering questions, and hearing about their experiences as they begin a new semester at WCC. Students also had the chance to connect with faculty and staff, enjoy lunch, and pick up some WCC swag along the way.

Week of Welcome may be over, but the semester is just getting started. Thank you to everyone across all four WCC campuses who helped make these first few weeks such a great welcome for our students!

Here’s to a great semester!
