QVCC - TURBULENT ECONOMIC TIMES AFFECTS THE COLLEGE POSITIVELY
The fall 2008 semester at Quinebaug Valley Community College (QVCC) started with a record 1,947 students enrolled at the Danielson campus and Willimantic Center.

In turn, the QVCC Willimantic Center has recorded a 25% increase in students since 2003. More"IDEAS ARE FREE" WORKSHOP FOR BUSINESSES WILL BE HELD AT QVCC

Front-line employees see many problems and opportunities that their managers don’t because they are the ones doing the work.
