The May 26 ceremony is for graduates residing in Fallon and surrounding communities.

In addition, WNC Interim President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe has scheduled a reception for graduates from 4 to 6 p.m. May 23 in Carson City. Graduates can bring up to two guests. Graduates have been notified by email that it’s essential to RSVP if they are planning to attend the ceremony and/or reception.

If graduates didn't previously order their caps, gowns and tassels online at wncbookstore.com, they should purchase them in person. The cost for a cap, gown and tassel is $26; a cap is $9.95 and the tassel is $6.

Students can purchase commencement regalia (caps, gowns and tassels) and return their rental books in person on the following dates at the Grad Store in Joe Dini Building 100:

This marks the third straight year that WNC is presenting its commencement ceremonies in a drive-through format. These ceremonies have been a huge success and there has been plenty of positive feedback from students and their families and friends.

For family and friends of graduates who are unable to attend commencement in a celebratory vehicle, all three ceremonies will be shown live on the WNC homepage.

A dent in the pool slide. 2. A failed breaker. 3. A pebble loose in the water part (replacing all concrete) 4. Hurricane Polo makes a sudden turn and blows off the roof (again).

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

Anyone who knows Fernley KNOWS this is more of the who you are related to and know business in this town. VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANTS.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
