Western Nevada College has announced that Bryce Clutts, CEO and President of Metcalf Builders, has joined the WNC Foundation as a member of the Board of Trustees.

Clutts joins a number of other notable board members on the foundation, whose mission is to develop resources in support of Western Nevada College by creating community partnerships, encouraging philanthropy and strengthening relationships between the college and the community it serves.

“I am extremely proud to become a board member of the WNC Foundation,” Clutts said. “This college offers tremendous programs for its students and helps the workforce by turning out top-notch graduates. As a general contractor based in northern Nevada, we are pleased to support its construction-centric programs and all the other programs that ultimately help local businesses hire future talent in our own communities.”

WNC’s core themes are focused on the educational pathways it provides to build a framework focused directly on its students and their achievements. Transfer education and professional education pathways serve the students and the communities in which they live by advancing career opportunities and imparting skills to successfully navigate an increasingly complex and connected world.

“I am thrilled to welcome Bryce to the WNC Foundation Board. His extensive experience and leadership in the construction industry make him an important addition to our board. Metcalf has been a steadfast supporter of WNC, including its exceptional work building the Jack C. Davis Observatory and its ongoing support of WNC’s Construction Management program,” said WNC Foundation Executive Director Niki Gladys. “With Bryce's involvement, I am confident that we will continue to advance our mission of providing exceptional educational opportunities for WNC students. We are honored to have him on board, and I look forward to working closely with Bryce and leveraging his expertise to further the success of our Foundation.”
