Western Nevada College's online class schedule and catalog have won a national silver award from the group that judges community college marketing efforts.
"The WNC online class schedule is extremely easy to use with a menu that allows students to pick the subject matter and location, as well as an electronic schedule planner," according to a press release from the college.
Once a course section is selected, one more mouse click will show the name of the instructor, cost of the course, class enrollment level, a description of the course and other sections of the same course.
Web master Kevin Murphy, who designed the online schedule, said his intent was to put "in all the information anyone could want about a class. I wanted everything in one spot, and one easy way to find it."
The WNC online catalog provides detailed, searchable information on requirements for all degree and certificate programs offered, course descriptions, and links to the class schedule, an academic calendar, and information on how Western's courses transfer to other colleges.
WNC's Information and Marketing department has won dozens of kudos over the years from the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations, the professional organization of community college marketing and communications.
