CLASSES CANCELLED AT IOWA LAKES FOR FUNERAL OF EMPLOYEE

Classes will be cancelled for two hours at all campuses of Iowa Lakes Community College on Wednesday, Nov. 4, to allow employees to attend the funeral of Tom Weideman.

The cancellation of classes from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday is out of respect to Weideman for his dedication and years of service to Iowa Lakes.   College offices will remain open, although some services may be limited during this time period. 

Weideman, the computer network administrator, worked at Iowa Lakes for the past 25 years.  He is credited with developing the first computer network serving the entire college in the mid-1990s.  While his work kept him in front of a computer screen most hours of the day, he impacted every student and employee with his ability to keep more than 1,400 computers and 25 servers running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
