Letterkenny Educational/Training Partnership


Ltg. William Mortensen, Deputy Commanding General of Army Material; Dr. Lorna Edmundson, Wilson College President, Senator Terry Punt; and Col. Steven Shapiro, Depot Commander participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony during the Letterkenny Training and Education Center Dedication on May 28, 2008.
In February, 2008, Letterkenny Army Depot formed an educational/training partnership with Wilson College to serve Letterkenny Army Depot employees, contractors, tenants, and others with Letterkenny covering the educational expenses for its employees. A grant of $400,000 was successfully obtained by the late state Sen. Terry Punt.  This allowed for the renovation of Building 102 into a state-of-the-art education facility. The Training Center, as it is named, was completed in spring 2008.

The purpose for the partnership is to provide on-going college-credit classes for employees. At the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement, Letterkenny’s progressive leadership was acknowledged, recognizing the importance of higher education and strengthening employee skills. Employees are able to enroll in Wilson classes both in Building 102 and at the college with tuition and fees paid by Letterkenny.

Since the first classes were offered in summer 2008, Letterkenny employees have enrolled in classes as either non-degree or degree seeking students. This summer we will see a first since the partnership was initiated: a Letterkenny employee/Wilson student will receive his associate degree!

Employees are required to talk with their supervisors about their personal development and desire for continuing education. Paperwork needs to be completed, specifically SF182, and permission must be obtained. For questions on Letterkenny, contact Jim Moyer, Human Resources Specialist, james.scott.moyer@us.army.mil.

CS 110, Intro to Computer Based Systems, will run from May 17 to July 2.

Fall classes are scheduled for Aug. 30 – Dec. 17:

  • BUS 124 Intro to Management 
  • CS 110 Intro to Computer-Based Systems
  • ENG 101 Written Communications
