State Legislature. In 1971, Governor Mike O'Callaghan dedicated
Western Nevada Community College as one of three community colleges
in the Community College Division of the Nevada System of Higher
Education. In 1979, the Board of Regents split Western Nevada
Community College and established Truckee Meadows Community College
(TMCC). TMCC became the fourth community college within the Nevada
System of Higher Education. Truckee Meadows Community College is
