Lake Land College is getting ready to kick off the new school year with Welcome Week, a series of events aimed at helping new and returning students settle in and start strong.

The activities begin ahead of the first day of classes, with events scheduled August 20th through the 22nd, and again on August 25th and 26th. Held inside the Luther Student Center, Welcome Week will include campus tours, resource stations, information sessions, photobooths, planner decorating, and more.

Students will also have a chance to explore the college’s brand-new Student Success Center during an open house in Webb Hall on August 25th and 26th. To make the transition easier, staff will be available as greeters on the first two days of class, August 25th and 26th, at both the Mattoon campus and the Effingham Technology Center, helping students find their way around.

Then on August 27th, Student Life will host a special Welcome Day event in the Field House with free lunch, games, and giveaways. A second Welcome Day celebration will be held exclusively for Effingham students on August 28th.  Find out more information by visiting their website at www.llcc.edu
