Minden college campus closes until Aug. 3

With the exception of two driver education classes, the Douglas

campus of Western Nevada College will be closed until Aug. 3. Two

dozen web-based classes that begin June 8, are serving Douglas

County residents during the summer term, and classes are available at the

WNC Carson City campus.

The director of the college's Information and Marketing Department,

Anne Hansen, said telephone calls to the Douglas campus will automatically

be forwarded to the reception desk on the Carson City campus, or inquiries

can be made directly to the Carson City campus at 445-3000.

The Douglas campus will reopen Aug. 3 to serve students for the

fall semester, which begins Aug. 31. Nearly 100 different on-site

classes will be offered this fall, along with dozens of online classes.
