Learn about pursuing an education at the College of Lake County during an open house from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at all three campuses in Grayslake, Waukegan and Vernon Hills, plus the Advanced Technology Center in Gurnee on Saturday, April 15. The event is free and open to the public.

The open house is a way for the school to celebrate Community College Month this April. CLC serves residents in diverse communities throughout Lake County. The college is proud to be part of building strategic, collaborative partnerships to establish innovative solutions that meet the diverse, skilled talent pipeline workforce needs in its community.

 

"Open house is a great opportunity for those interested in attending to learn more about CLC," Assistant Director of Outreach and On-Campus Experiences Jason Sarna said. "You can ask faculty and staff questions directly and get information about all of the academic programs and student services the college offers."

At the open houses, learn about the 170 degrees and certificates the college offers in nine fields of interest, as well as financial aid, scholarships, employment opportunities for students, CLC's new online options, dual credit programs, noncredit credentials, academic and student support services and student life opportunities.

Visitors can come and go as they please, chatting with faculty members, college and career navigators and academic success advisers.
