School Notes:

  • In 1962, a steering committee composed of area citizens was organized to obtain support for a college in Wytheville. After approval by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia and the General Assembly, the Wythe County-owned Simmerman Building was chosen as the first site of the college. Wytheville Community College welcomed its first students in September, 1963, as a two-year branch of Virginia Polytechnic Institute. During its first year of operation, the college enrolled 107 students and employed five full-time faculty members.
  • Wytheville Community College commits to a student-centered environment by providing programs and courses in occupational-technical education, college transfer education, general education, developmental education, distance education, continuing education, and workforce development.
  • Wytheville Community College is approved by the State Board for Community Colleges and by the Virginia Community College System. The associate degree curricula of the college have also been approved by the State Council of Higher Education. Wytheville Community College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the associate degree.

    Ever since I heard that the more than 100 hours of rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson’s This Is It comeback concert was going to be comprised into a theatrical motion picture, I was immediately anxious to see what the film would have to offer.
  • Second-half surge fuels the Storm (The Lexington Dispatch)

    BY MIKE DUPREZ The Dispatch Davidson County Community College was locked in a tight game Wednesday night before unleashing a torrent of points. Call it the Storm surge. The Storm erupted for 18 points in a three-minute stretch early in the second half, turning a close game into a 94-67 rout of Louisburg College’s junior varsity at Brinkley Gym.

    Since I missed them at Floyd Fest back in July, I was glad for the chance to see Blues Traveler live in concert at The Fillmore in Charlotte, N.C., on Oct. 15. Having just opened in June, this is another part of the North Carolina Music Factory in addition to the Uptown Amphitheater where I saw Heart last month.

    BY MIKE DUPREZ The Dispatch The beginning was OK, and so was the end. And that more than made up for what happened in the middle. Rico Geter led five players in double figures with 19 points as Davidson County Community College opened its season by outlasting Wytheville Community College 90-82 on Sunday at Brinkley Gym.
  • STRICTLY OBSERVING: New ministry (Wytheville Enterprise)

    As October is Disability Awareness Month, I wanted to close out the month by informing you of a wonderful local ministry of which I have just recently been made aware.
