The University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Wor-Wic Community College have renewed an agreement that creates a financial incentive for recent graduates of the two-year school in Salisbury to continue their studies 17 miles south in Princess Anne.
The Wor-Wic Community College Foundation is sponsoring a 5K Hero Run or 2-mile walk, along with the 2024 First Responder Team Cup Challenge, on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 9 a.m., at the college campus on the corner of Route 50 and Walston Switch Road in Salisbury. Check-in and registration begin at 8 a.m.
Wor-Wic Community College will hold an inauguration ceremony for its third president, Deborah Casey, Ph.D., at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center in Salisbury on Friday, Sept. 20, at 10 a.m. The public is invited to join the celebration, which will feature local and national speakers, community performances, community service activities and a formal investiture.
A total of 380 Wor-Wic Community College students have been recognized for superior performance by being named to the dean’s list for the recently completed spring term.
Area students who maintained a grade point average of 3.5 or higher while taking six or more credit hours during the spring term include:
The following students completed their program requirements to graduate with a certificate (CT), associate of applied science (AAS), associate of arts in teaching (AAT), associate of science (AS) or associate of arts (AA) degree from Wor-Wic Community College this past fall and spring.
Students who earn degrees are more likely to have better economic well-being and job satisfaction, many studies have shown. But too often, personal barriers prevent students from completing their degree or credential.
Wor-Wic Community College has received a $350,000 Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grant from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. government’s independent science agency.
Thirty-nine law enforcement officers from Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset, Dorchester, Talbot and Caroline counties graduated in the 92nd entrance-level class of the Eastern Shore Criminal Justice Academy (ESCJA) operated by Wor-Wic Community College at the corner of Route 50 and Walston Switch Road in Salisbury.
Wor-Wic Community College recently held its 22nd annual golf tournament at the college’s Ocean Resorts Golf Club in Berlin. Proceeds from the tournament totaled $39,000 and will support the educational needs of Wor-Wic students.
After 18 years of dedicated service as a member of the board of trustees of Wor-Wic Community College, Andrew W. Booth of Salisbury recently retired.
