President's Message
"Community Support is Vital..."
"Iowa Western Community College has been a proud provider of outstanding educational services throughout Southwest Iowa for more than four decades. The faculty and staff believe strongly in the College's mission of improving the quality of life for area residents through its programs, partnerships and community development. But we cannot achieve our goals alone. The scholarship funds raised by the Iowa Western Community College Foundation play a vital role in offering students quality educational services. Iowa Western greatly appreciates the support of those individuals and organizations that have chosen to join in our quest of building a better tomorrow for our young people."
Dr. Dan Kinney, President,
Iowa Western Community College
