Lake Land College has enrolled their largest class size in over 5 years to start the new Fall semester while adding to the extensive catalog of courses and programs. Additional work includes their expansion in Effingham, from the Kluthe Center to the Effingham Technology Center, as well as fieldhouse improvements being made over the next couple of weeks. New to Lake Land is the “Tech Two Day” program and “Education That Fits Your Life.” These have been put in place to increase schedule flexibility while making higher education more accessible.

To talk all these things is Kelly Allee, Marketing and Promotions Director for Lake Land College. She starts first by sharing the increased enrollment numbers and the hours being logged by students.

As for why the boost in enrollment? Allee says it’s a combination of multiple efforts and tells what some of those are.

Allee breaks down what the “Tech Two Day” program is. Students and their employers are given consistent schedules to reduce interference between the two.

For those thinking about returning to the classroom for their GED, Lake Land College has multiple opportunities to receive your high school diploma. On October 13th in Pana at the Western Region Center, faculty will be on hand to explain your next steps.
