Western Nebraska Community College has named a new director of alumni. Tina Dueker was a marketing officer at a bank in Iowa prior to moving to the Panhandle, but before that she worked in the alumni relations office at the University of Minnesota.

Dueker says she is excited to capitalize on her background in alumni relations and marketing to “engage WNCC alumni, generate their enthusiasm, and encourage them to reconnect with the College.” WNCC and its predecessor institutions have nearly 200,000 alumni.
