Welcome to Wake Tech

As a Wake Tech student, your success is our success. You are the first priority of every Wake Tech faculty and staff member. This handbook will help you learn more about services the college offers and provide information that will help you to succeed as a college student.

For the convenience of students in our health programs, we have a new Student Services Center opening in June on the Health Sciences Campus. In addition to counseling, financial aid and other student services, it will contain an Individualized Learning Center (ILC) similar to the ILC on the Main Campus. Instructors in these centers work closely with classroom instructors and are available if you need extra help with classroom assignments.

Those of you who are returning students will notice more breathing space on the Main Campus with the planned August opening of Pucher LeMay Hall. Besides classrooms and faculty offices, we will have a black box theater, an acoustically sound, professional music classroom, an art studio with a kiln room and an open computer lab with approximately 50 stations.

I encourage you to check out the Career Center in the Student Services Building on Main Campus and to use the center’s success seminars and counseling services to guide you in self-discovery. Counselors in the Career Center can help you clarify your goals and define your career path. If you are an adult student juggling family and work responsibilities, you may want to join a new support group the center has designed especially for you.

You may also want to take advantage of the services of the Job Placement office, which works closely with businesses to identify employment needs in the community. The services of Job Placement are available free of charge to Wake Tech students and graduates in their search for employment.

Have you used Eagle Cruiser, a new online service providing each student at Wake Tech with his or her own e-mail address? As a Wake Tech student, you need to know about the latest services and changes that may affect you. Read this handbook, talk with your advisor and stay alert as the college expands to offer you more.

In addition, remember the college’s five core values — communication, collaboration, critical thinking, responsibility and respect — as you attend classes and college events and become involved in the Student Government Association and other student organizations. As students, incorporate these values into your college experience. As graduates, embrace them, along with your degrees or diplomas, as emblems of your success.

Sincerely,

Dr. Stephen C. Scott
President
Wake Technical Community College
