Wytheville Community College 2025 Annual Report

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE It is with great appreciation and pride that I present the Wytheville Community College Educational Foundation Annual Report 2025. The WCC Educational Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to foster and promote the growth, progress, and general welfare of Wytheville Community College (WCC). Over the past year, our Foundation has worked diligently to advance the mission of the college, serve our students, and strengthen our community. With enrollment increasing significantly each year since the COVID-19 pandemic, support of the Wytheville Community College Educational Foundation has been more crucial than ever.

In addition to private contributions, WCC is deeply grateful for the support of the Wythe-Bland Foundation, Twin County Community Foundation, and the Smyth County Community Foundation, which provide last-dollar scholarships that cover tuition and fees for each eligible high school graduate in WCC’s service region of Bland, Carroll, Grayson, Smyth, and Wythe counties, and the city of Galax. Through investments from WCC’s stakeholders, WCC, aided by generous donors and community partners, is helping more students than ever access higher education and stay on track toward meaningful futures. In addition to direct student support, the Foundation has provided critical funding to strengthen and grow academic programs, equip faculty with the tools they need to innovate in the classroom, and improve campus facilities to better serve our expanding student body. The Foundation is also deeply rooted in the community and supports cultural activities such as the WCC Choir, WCC Concert Band, and WCC Theatre. On behalf of our entire college community – students, faculty, staff, and our boards – I would like to thank each of you for your support of WCC and the WCC Educational, Scholarship, and Real Estate Foundations. My wife, Janie, and I wish you a happy and joyous holiday season and a prosperous new year. Sincerely,

Dr. Dean E. Sprinkle President
