Wyche’s department, part of the VGCC Arts and Sciences division , provides instruction in Spanish, art, music, drama, speech and humanities.

Wyche has experience as a teacher of English and language arts at the middle school, high school, two-year college and four-year university levels. He served as a lecturer at North Carolina State University for six years. Wyche earned his bachelor’s degree in English at Appalachian State University and his master’s in English/Creative Writing at N.C. State.
