Open House Success

LLCC’s summer Open House on Tuesday had great weather and turnout. LLCC Recruitment and Admissions hosted 42 prospective students and dozens of their family members who toured buildings on campus; spoke with instructors, staff and deans; learned about programs and services offered at LLCC; and enjoyed hamburgers grilled by LLCC Police and snow cones from LLCC Student Life.

Of the prospective students who completed the event satisfaction survey, 90% of them gave LLCC the highest rating possible.
