Three WCCC students from Lebanon are members of the new Lebanon Youth Chamber of Commerce, which includes all Lebanon student volunteers in grades 9-12.

WCCC is fortunate to have many community and business partners that support programs, staff and students. This fall, several industry representatives have taken time from their work day to interact with students, teach them more about their intended careers, and offer opportunities for internships, apprenticeships and employment.

Xavier University’s Information Technology Department is the September 2021 WCCC Valued Community Partner. The university department was nominated by Cybersecurity Instructor Diana Marks for its support of senior Conner Nichols, Waynesville, who was offered an internship in the IT department this past summer through the INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati.

The Donna Oliver Nursing Scholarship has just been established through the WCCC Education Foundation. Donna, a 1984 graduate and Valedictorian of Franklin High School and the WCCC Diversified Health Occupations program, was inducted into the WCCC Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame in 2019. She passed in 2020, and a fundraising softball game was organized by friends and family.

2021 Sports and Exercise Science alumnus Andrew (AJ) Wagenknecht sees his future as an athletic trainer and is working toward that goal, studying Sports Science at Wright State University and interning at Franklin High School with Head Athletic Trainer John Dynes.
