Whatcom Community College

A summer of learning, connection, and cultural exchange at WCC!

Six Russian college students spent their summer at WCC through SPARK (Summer Program for Academic Research and Cultural Knowledge), taking classes, living in Cedar Hall, and experiencing our local community.

Today, four of the students joined President Justin Guillory and college leadership for lunch to reflect on their time at WCC and share perspectives on American education and culture.

Experiences like SPARK highlight the value of WCC’s international programs, creating meaningful opportunities for visiting students while bringing global perspectives and connections to our students and community.
