Laker Visit Day

Lake Land College will host Laker Visit Day from 9 a.m. to noon on Monday, Oct. 9 in the Luther Student Center. This event provides students and parents with the opportunity to learn about The Laker Advantage and how it can guide them on the path to success.

Attendees will tour campus with a student ambassador, who will share information from a student perspective. Participants can learn more about Lake Land’s wide range of academic programs, ranging from short-term certificates to two-year degrees. Students can choose among career, university transfer, trade and technical programs to link their interests with a matching profession.

Faculty from all programs will be available at the event to speak with students. Representatives from many services, including Counseling Services, Career Services, Student Accommodations & Mental Health Initiatives, TRIO Student Support Services, Health Services, Student Wellness and more will be available to provide information and answer attendees’ questions.

A parent/guardian session will be offered as well to provide information relevant to potential parents or guardians of future Lakers.

“Laker Visit Day is a great way for high school students to see how Lake Land College can help them reach their goals. Once students are on campus, they experience the caring environment and learn more about Lake Land’s commitment to helping them succeed,” Pam Hartke, associate dean of enrollment management, said. “I highly encourage anyone who is considering college to attend this event and see why Lake Land is ranked in the top 15% of community colleges in the nation.”
