Staff Success: We are committed to staff learning, success, and satisfaction. As a staff, we emphasize teamwork within College units and between the units. We support our colleagues and help them to be successful. We learn to improve learning; that is, we continuously increase our capacity to meet the educational requirements of the students, employers, and communities we serve. Through staff learning, we continuously improve services at each stage of the flow of students through WCC. All staff members align their work to contribute to improved teaching and increased student and community learning.
