Just your average first week of college… until someone brings out the life-sized Hungry Hungry Hippos.

The Week of Welcome brought the fun to the Ashe Campus of Wilkes Community College with Pizza with the President, inflatables, lawn games, and plenty of opportunities to hang out and enjoy the first week back at WCC.

One campus left! We’ll wrap up the Week of Welcome on Monday at the Alleghany Center of Wilkes Community College!
