MATTOON — Lake Land College will host Laker Visit Day on Friday, March 22 from 9 a.m. to noon in the Luther Student Center. The event allows prospective students to learn about Lake Land College and how the Laker Advantage can guide them on the path to success.

Attendees can check in from 8:15 – 9 a.m. at the main entrance of the Luther Student Center. Parking will be available in lot E for easy access to the event. Full campus maps are available on the Lake Land College website.

During the event, attendees will tour campus with a student ambassador, who will share information from a student perspective. Participants will also meet with faculty to learn more about specific programs.

Representatives from many services, including Counseling Services, Career Services, Student Accommodations, Student Wellness, TRIO Student Support Services and more will be available to provide information and answer attendees’ questions.

Attendees are also welcome to bring their parents or guardians to the event. A parent/guardian session will be offered to provide information relevant to parents or guardians of future Lakers.

“This event is perfect for anyone interested in attending Lake Land College, even if you only plan to take a few classes,” Pam Hartke, associate dean of enrollment, said. “Potential students can get a great feel for the college as a whole and learn about the excellent resources we have available.”

Immediately following the Laker Visit Day event, students interested in a career in broadcasting are encouraged to attend the Broadcast Communication Open House from noon to 2 p.m. The open house will be held in the Lake Land broadcast studio and will include a light lunch, a tour of the WLKL facilities, and a chance to view state-of-the-art audio and visual equipment.

Additional upcoming opportunities to visit Lake Land and learn about available programs include the Social Science and Education Open House and the Math & Science STEM Exploration Day events on Friday, April 12. Both will begin at 9 a.m. and give attendees the chance to meet with program-specific Lake Land faculty and learn about career opportunities in a selected field.
