COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES

• Local tax dollars that support WITCC go directly to training

the local workforce, which increases the skilled labor pool and the overall economic health of the area. In fact, 82 percent of WITCC graduates reside in Iowa, and 97 percent reside in IA, NE, and SD. (Data Source: WITCC Institutional Research)

• The local community college levy tax helps support

educational programs for careers that affect our daily lives including police officers, firefighters, nurses, pharmacy techs, carpenters, accountants, auto repair technicians, childcare providers, veterinary technicians, dental assistants, paramedics, and more.

• WITCC has provided educational opportunities to well over

190,000 people since its inception in 1966. Chances are you or someone you know has been directly impacted by WITCC. (Data Source: WITCC Institutional Research)

Summer 2011

20-year WITCC President & WITCC Alum to Retire My dear fellow alumni, it is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement as president of Western Iowa Tech Community College effective July 26, 2011. I have had the honor and privilege to serve as WITCC’s president for the past 20 years. During that time, the College has prospered and grown, new campuses were constructed, new programs were created to meet the changing needs of our communities, business partnerships were developed, college facilities were expanded, and The Security Institute and new dorms were built. Our most recent development is the new Student Life and Wellness Center which the College Board of Directors voted to name the “Dr. Robert E. Dunker Student Center.” I was honored and extremely humbled by this kind gesture. It is scheduled to open this summer, and many other exciting changes are on the horizon.

It is my hope that the next president will take the College from where I am leaving it and vault it to new heights that none of us can imagine today.

Who is this man, you ask? You may have even met him, he’s Dr. Robert E. Dunker, WITCC president for over 20 years!

Dr. Dunker is a great testimony to the value of a community college education. As Dr. Dunker likes to say, he owes his start to WITCC and the Iowa Community College system.

“WITCC, it’s the best place to start!”

1967

Over 40 years ago, there was a young man struggling to nd his way. He didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life and was just taking odd jobs to get by.

His parents were concerned he’d never amount to much and lacked direction.

Not knowing exactly what the future had in store for him, he decided to give Western Iowa Tech Community College a try. In 1967, he earned his A.A.S. in Mechanical Design and Drafting. Turns out that decision would serve him well for the rest of his life. He had no idea how well.

His rst position after graduation was a Drafting and Design Department Manager with Dale Electronics, Inc. in Yankton, South Dakota. After working in the industry for ve years, he decided to go into teaching at the college level. That love affair with teaching inspired him to continue his education. While working
