West Hills College Magazine Winter edition is available online

This 36-page, ninth issue of the magazine features everything from a profile of Chancellor Dr. Stuart Van Horn to a look at the many ways West Hills helps students and staff overcome barriers.

It includes the story of a WHCC graduate who made it through college despite financial and social barriers with the help of WHCC’s TRIO program, a look at West Hills College Lemoore’s championing of free digital textbooks, and a look at WHCCD’s focus on employee development.

The new Prior Learning Assessment program at WHCCD is highlighted along with West Hills College Lemoore’s career technical education academies. An update is given on the status of an updated North District Center in Firebaugh and the WHCCD’s Educational Master Plan, and Facilities Master Plan is outlined.

There are also features on the West Hills Community College District’s grants department, which has earned over $158 million since it was established in 1999, and on West Hills College Coalinga’s Farm of the Future’s use of the latest agriculture technology.
