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.

  • What: Meadowood Community Open House
  • When: Wednesday, Nov. 2, 3–6 p.m.

“We hope to raise awareness for all the classes offered, and the programs and resources available at TMCC’s Meadowood Center, a very central location on hundreds of bus routes and with free parking,” said Jean Lampson, Administrative Assistant, Business Division. “All are invited and the event is free.”

The event will take place on the northeast courtyard, weather permitting, or indoors if temperature becomes too cool. To make the event festive and fun, the Business Division will offer the following:

  • Free tacos while supplies last
