Professor Profile: Randy Naylor enjoys sharing his welding expertise with students
For nearly 30 years, Randy Naylor has trained WNC students to become welders in a variety of fields nationally and internationally.
His dedication to the industry was due, in part, to the training he received from his mentor, former WNC professor Jim Pauluk. Like his predecessors at the Andy Butti Welding Technology Center, Naylor enjoys passing on his welding knowledge to his students, who are prepared to succeed in the industry.
Welding skills are one of the most popular career options at Western, making WNC students employable upon graduation and certification.
Naylor, who began teaching at WNC in 1996, earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Nevada, Reno. To read this professor profile and others, visit wnc.edu/professor-profiles/.

Recently, the Associated Students of Western Nevada held a Constitution Day and birthday party for WNC’s mascot, Willie.
In celebration of Constitution Day 237 years ago, attendees were encouraged to vote and receive a free copy of the Constitution. They enjoyed hot dogs, chips, soft drinks, and camaraderie. ASWN members also dressed up as founding fathers.

Open entry, late starts and short courses give students the flexibility to fit higher education into their busy lives. Many late start courses begin on October 21st, but open entry classes are available until the 9th week of the semester.
Short-term courses starting in the second semester include American Sign Language, art, automotive mechanics, counseling and educational psychology, drafting, education, electrical theory, finance, geology, information systems, machine tool technology, management science, manufacturing, marketing, mathematics, Medical terminology, nursing, and occupational safety.
Students interested in open classes can choose from art, biology, construction, construction management, electrical theory, English, environmental science, information systems, mathematics, music, political science, and psychology.
