The Meadowood Community Open House takes place on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 3-6 p.m. with free tacos and a Radio Lazer remote broadcast.
Meadowood Center now offers more job-improving certificate programs, all general education classes, and a smooth transition between high school equivalency and the college courses offered by Truckee Meadows Community College. TMCC's Workforce Development and Community Education (WDCE) also offers Northern Nevada's largest selection of non-credit personal enrichment and professional success courses.
To showcase the expanded programs at Meadowood, faculty and staff are sponsoring a Community Open House on Nov. 2.
