In the News: Dr. Charlotte Warren

In her Illinois Times essay, “Explore opportunities for your future,” Dr. Charlotte Warren discusses the upcoming LLCC Open House on Feb. 19 and how it is a great way to discover available learning and career opportunities and an exciting step in the journey to reach one’s goals. “Lincoln Land Community College helps many students explore options and take that first step toward reaching their goals — whether a student is looking for hands-on career training, for one specific class or to earn an associate degree that transfers to a four-year university.”
