Lake Land College’s TRIO Student Support Services program recently took students on an educational trip to Nashville.

The group visited Vanderbilt University and Middle Tennessee State University, where they toured the campuses and learned about academic programs, transfer options, and student life.

TRIO Director Lori Ohnesorge says the trip is designed to help students plan their next steps after graduating from Lake Land. She says opportunities like this set students on pathways for continued success.

Along with the college visits, students also explored some of Nashville’s attractions, including RCA Studio B, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, and a live show at the Grand Ole Opry.

TRIO is funded by the U.S. Department of Education and provides support to students in need to help them reach their academic goals.
