West Hills College Coalinga - Community Survey

Hello friends and neighbors,

West Hills College Coalinga (WHCC) values and appreciates the community that we serve. We are committed to delivering high quality teaching and learning experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. From time to time it is good for any organization to pause and reflect on what it is doing well and where it can improve. The current pandemic has forced change upon us. We have learned a lot about ourselves as a college, and our community, as we have navigated through this crisis. As we turn the corner from reacting to the current pandemic and begin to adjust our focus on teaching, learning, and community engagement moving forward we believe it is critical that we gather the thoughts and ideas of the community that we serve. We invite you to participate in this brief community survey to share some of your thoughts and assist us in developing educational opportunities that will meet your needs as a member of our community.

With gratitude,
Brenda Thames, Ph.D.
President, West Hills College Coalinga
