NorthWest Arkansas Community College will host two open house events during the first week of December as part of a statewide emphasis known as Community College Work$.
The college’s events are slated for:
• 9 to 10:30 a.m. Dec. 2 at the Washington County Center, 693 White Road in Springdale
• Noon to 1:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Shewmaker Center for Global Business Development on the Bentonville campus.
The 22 member institutions of Arkansas Community Colleges (formerly the Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges) will participate in the statewide celebration.
A proclamation by Gov. Mike Beebe declaring Dec. 1-5 as Community College Work$ Week states that the special celebration promotes community colleges in Arkansas by increasing public awareness of each college’s mission and vital role in meeting local economic development and workforce needs.
Government and business leaders and the public are invited to attend.
