History

The college was chartered on April 3, 1958, as Wilson Industrial Education Center. In 1964, the State Board of Education granted authority to award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and the school name was changed to Wilson County Technical Institute. Starting in 1971 and continuing today, the college has received both federal and state grants. This has made it possible to provide more services, which include tutoring disadvantaged students, counseling, and training in Adult Basic Education. In 1989, the name was officially changed to Wilson Technical Community College. In 1993, the Department of Community Colleges granted the college the authority to award the Associate in Arts degree. Since 2007, the college has been known as Wilson Community College. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the college, in 2008, a new center for students was opened, which hopes to "set the pace" for a direction in environmentally friendly technologies.[1]
