Creating A Brighter Future 2019–2020 ANNUAL REPORT
From the Chair As Chair of the Washtenaw Community College (WCC) Board of Trustees, I am honored to represent the citizens of Washtenaw County as WCC continues to play a vital role in our community. Whether on-campus or online, WCC has had an exceptional year promoting the success of all who come through the physical and virtual doors of our campus. This has been a year unlike any other. The impact of COVID-19 compelled WCC to mobilize like never before to meet student needs. We successfully transitioned to remote instruction and an innovative Virtual Classroom model, building on a strong history of online teaching and expanding online services to reflect the on-campus experience. We found new ways to engage our students and community and keep campus safe throughout uncertain times. We know that our exceptional pandemic response is only one part of the story this year. WCC has continued to offer a wide range of opportunities for students, employers, partners, and community members to achieve their educational and career goals. We are proud of WCC's impact on the diversity, knowledge base and economic strength of our community and of the $525 million impact the college has on the region. I am proud to be part of the shared successes of this campus community. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we look forward continuing to make an impact as the community’s college.
Christina Fleming, Chair, Board of Trustees
From the President As I reflect on Washtenaw Community College’s (WCC) 2019-2020 academic year, I am so proud of our team’s dedication to making a real difference in people’s lives by providing excellent education at an exceptional value. Our faculty and staff have shown an unwavering commitment to supporting our students and community during a time of unprecedented change. This year’s Annual Report highlights some of the achievements WCC’s students, faculty and staff accomplished over the past academic year. Essential to WCC’s success, was the community’s overwhelming support to renew the college’s operating millage in March. For this we are profoundly grateful. Renewing the millage signifies the trust the community places in the college to provide high-quality educational programs. It also underscores the important role WCC plays in fueling a highly-skilled workforce and providing professional and personal enrichment programs for lifelong learning. Inside, you will learn more about how WCC quickly adapted to delivering most every course virtually during a worldwide pandemic. You will find out more about how WCC supported students in need and how the college provided nationally-recognized programs for high-demand fields such as cyber defense and automotive cybersecurity. You’ll also see how WCC supported budding entrepreneurs and discover more about programming for youth and seniors residing in Eastern Washtenaw County. You’ll also learn about a virtual learning series WCC hosted to foster greater understanding of systemic racism and injustice. I also hope you will enjoy reading about students like Ali Kurmasha, whose success started at WCC. Ali is one of only 50 community college students nationwide to receive a highly competitive scholarship that will enable him to pursue a dream career in dentistry. Please enjoy this year’s publication and discover some of the many ways WCC fulfills its commitment to the community we are so privileged to serve. With gratitude,
Rose B. Bellanca, Ed.D., WCC President

Keeping Up The Good Work In March 2020, Washtenaw County voters overwhelmingly supported a ballot proposal to renew and restore a 1.00 Washtenaw Community College operating millage by nearly a 78% margin. This approval is WCC’s highest ever. It reinforces the high regard taxpayers in Washtenaw County place on the College and assures it has the operating dollars to sustain the quality programs and services offered – and to keep them affordable. “The dollars provided are crucial for WCC to continue its mission of making a difference in the lives of our students, giving them the resources and opportunities to realize their educational goals and dreams,” said WCC President Dr. Rose B. Bellanca. Studies show that up to 80% of students who attend community college stay in the county where they attended college. Because of Washtenaw County voters’ support, you will continue to encounter healthcare workers, police officers, childcare workers, automotive technicians, teachers and many more professionals who attended WCC. They are your neighbors and friends. They and you help make the community we live in such a special place.
Thank you, Washtenaw County.
Approval Of The Millage Enables WCC To: • Provide students with an affordable option for completing their first two years of college before transferring to a four-year college to complete a bachelor’s degree. • Prepare Washtenaw County’s workforce for existing and emerging careers in healthcare, cybersecurity, connected and autonomous mobility and the convergence of IT and business. • Offer free classes to senior citizens through our Emeritus Scholars program. • Provide everyone the opportunity to earn a certificate, degree or new skill to start, advance or change their career. • Generate $525 million in economic impact on Washtenaw County annually.

Navigating a New World While so much great work took place over the first eight months of the 2019-20 fiscal year, special attention must be paid to the innovation, adaptability and incredible amounts of sheer hard work that were on display as Washtenaw Community College moved to a completely virtual model from April through June 2020. Because of WCC’s 10-plus-year strategic focus on online education, the College was able to quickly and effectively transition to alternate delivery methods when COVID-19 forced remote operations in the middle of Winter semester, building more than 200 online classes in a matter of days. The WCC Teaching and Learning Center offered faculty support and professional development needed to teach remotely. Anticipating the need to remain primarily virtual during the Summer semester, WCC developed a brand new virtual classroom learning model for students who prefer meeting with their instructors at specific days and times, allowing them to interact as they would on-campus. Students in need of technology, internet access, childcare or course materials to continue their education were able to find assistance through the WCC Foundation or other sources. The College helped 3,244 students receive $3,375,250 in federal CARES Act funding from April through the Spring/Summer 2020 semester, provided more than 100 free laptop computers during the immediate transition to online learning and provided check-outs for additional laptops and internet hotspots from Bailey Library. All student services – including advising, counseling, financial aid, library services, placement testing, tutoring and more – continued to be offered virtually as College staff worked diligently from their home offices and kitchen tables. Student activities such as club meetings, dance parties and talent shows also quickly transitioned to online events. This was all possible due to the Information Technology department’s swift configuration of laptops for faculty/staff use via a secure private network.

WCC Foundation The WCC Foundation continued to expand its positive impact on students, providing 2,206 scholarships totaling $1,542,250 in 2019-20, compared to 1,162 scholarships totaling $817,750 the previous year. Student scholarship applications have increased 300% over the past four years, demonstrating students’ needs to help pay for their education. The WCC Foundation extended its application deadlines to meet student needs. The WCC Foundation’s Student Emergency Fund provides students with immediate financial support for unforeseen education barriers such as food shortages, rent and transportation issues, utility bills and other emergencies so they can stay in school. Total Student Emergency Fund support to students more than doubled to $45,937 this year. The fund is completely supported by private donations from concerned individuals, companies, foundations and organizations. Applications to the Student Emergency Fund sharply increased immediately following the onset of COVID-19, especially for technology assistance such as the purchase of laptops, hot spots and necessary software. The Finish Line Scholarship was launched by the WCC Foundation to provide scholarships to students who have completed 75% of credits toward a degree, but stopped due to financial issues or other difficulties. Forty students graduated after receiving the scholarship in the program’s first year. 6
