Barb Malom, Administrative Assistant program instructor at WITC Rice Lake had a simple description of the new WEBcard. The information on the WEBcard is really student-based. It answers many of the questions we typically get when potential students come through the door. Janette LeGault, WITC Ashland alumni representative, plans to mail a few cards to her son and his friend in Colorado who are thinking of enrolling at the college in January. With the card, it will be easy and economical to send, LeGault said, and they ll have all the information they need.
