The next Speaker's Forum will welcome a presentation by Dr. Robert Sandel, President of Virginia Western Community College. Dr. Sandel will give an update on the college and the important role VWCC plays in our region.  We have specifically seen the significant value of VWCC in retaining employers and attracting new companies to the region, such as El Dor, and preparing students for their next steps in life.

The Forum will be held on Tuesday, September 13th at the Natural Science Center on the VWCC Campus (located on the south campus between Chapman Hall and the Community Arboretum) starting at 8:45AM with coffee, juice and pastries provided.  From 9:00 - 9:45AM we will have a brief welcome followed by Dr. Sandel's presentation.  After Dr. Sandel’s presentation, Dan Horine, Assistant Professor of Engineering will give a brief tour of the Mechatronics Lab in Webber Hall for anyone desiring to stay and see this notable aspect of VWCC’s curriculum. Parking is available in lot 1 in any spaces marked with white lines OR those designated for student parking. For directions to the campus and parking locations see below.  There is NO CHARGE to attend this event, but seating is limited.
