The idea is not to replace government funded refugee sponsorship program, it is simply to augment it so that the collaborative resources can be leveraged to help more refugees given an average of 24 people were being forced to flee a minute worldwide as recently as 2015. United States and Canada have many similarities. Canada has a private sponsorship model that it augments with its government sponsorship model. If this approach has been working in Canada since the 1970s, it is also worth considering in the United States. One out of 100 humans are now displaced from their homes per a Pew Research Center publication as of October 2016. If all of these individuals created a country, it would be the world’s 24th biggest country.

  • WNC Strategic Plan Summary
    2012-2018 Strategic Plan Summary Western Nevada College Mission Statement Western Nevada College inspires success in our community through opportunities that cultivate creativity, intellectual growth and technological excellence in an environment that nurtures individual potential and respects differences. 2011-12 Strategic Planning For Institutional Effectiveness Committee Bonnie Bertocchi Sherry Black Catherine Boedenauer Deborah Case Maxine Cirac Ashley DeRosa Renee Magrini Gil Martin Jose Martinez Daniel Neverett Linda Ritter Danna Sturm (Chair) Page 1 Message From Dr. Carol A. Lucey During the past 12 years, the college’s strategic plans have transitioned from a focus on student enrollment (2000-2006) to one focused on student success (2006-2012). Most recently, the plan has been further refined to focus on implementation of strategies to support students in their attainment of degrees and certificates, and completion of employment training programs. As a result of these plans, the college experienced significant increases in degree-seekers, increased numbers of service area high school graduates attending WNC, and improved course completion rates. We also implemented a number of initiatives centered on enhancing student success and campus life. These included the construction of a new library/student center and an observatory, the development of intercollegiate athletics (baseball and softball), creation of a student ‘cohort’ approach (Latino/Latina, rural, veterans, etc.) as a method of promoting student success, and Project Graduate, an initiative to increase the students’ graduation and transfer rates. Forward progress was curtailed dramatically because of unprecedented fiscal challenges facing Nevada during the last two legislative sessions. These challenges produced uncertainty throughout our service area about the college’s future mission and even its very survival.

  • The Dentsu COVID-19 Pulse a Weekly Curation of Key Trends and Insights for Marketers and Brands
    COVID-19 Pulse April 2nd Edition The Dentsu COVID-19 Pulse A weekly curation of key trends and insights for marketers and brands. “We cannot choose the challenges we face, but we can choose how we respond to them.” –Greek Philosopher, Epictetus It is becoming clear that COVID-19 presents a challenge unprecedented in modern times - disrupting nations, economies and lives in ways not thought possible a few weeks ago. Our ability to respond to this change in productive and constructive ways depends on our ability to sift through the overwhelming torrent of news and information: to understand key dynamics and derive actionable insights that allow us as marketers to adap t in meaningful ways to safeguard and enhance the well-being of our people, our brands and our consumers. It is in that spirit that we developed the Dentsu COVID-19 Pulse: to bring together and curate the most up-to-date information, insights and thinking from across the Dentsu network to help marketers navigate the shifting road ahead. We’ll be with you as we push through the immediate crisis into recovery and, ultimately, a return to growth. Our goal is to publish this report on a weekly basis. A final thought (and silver lining). As you will see from our research in this report, consumers are looking for brands to take an active leadership role in helping them weather this storm. That means, more than ever, brands have an opportunity (dare we say mandate) to not just MARKET AT consumers as transactional buyers of products, but MATTER TO people as individuals and members of communities.
