Sheldon, Iowa — Northwest Iowa Community College in Sheldon is suspending one of their long-offered courses of study.
John Hartog is vice-president for student and academic services at NCC, and he says the suspension of the carpentry and construction trades program is not a decision that was made lightly.
Hartog says the college’s board of trustees approved the suspension earlier this week.
He says one of the great things about community colleges is that they’re structured to respond to the needs of the community.
Hartog says this decision affects the college, the community and the program’s instructor. He spoke in glowing terms about that instructor, Ryan Cannoy.
Hartog says he has reached out to all the students who had committed to attending NCC for their Carpentry and Construction Technology program, and informed them the program will no longer be offered at the Sheldon institution.
