Lethbridge College to host virtual open house on Oct. 21

-

Anyone interested in pursuing a postsecond­ary education is invited to Lethbridge College’s Virtual Open House. Taking the place of the annual in-person Open House, the Virtual Open House will provide prospectiv­e students with live Zoom sessions where they can connect with college faculty and staff in an interactiv­e setting that showcases all of the college’s offerings — virtually.

Virtual Open House runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21.

“We want to bring the Lethbridge College experience right to prospectiv­e students, no matter where they are,” says Nancy Russell, Dean of Student Affairs, in a news release. “Whether you know exactly what program you want to take, or if you are just curious about new opportunit­ies, Virtual

Open House is the place to start. This is a new and innovative way of connecting with future students that I think will be really beneficial for them.”

Those attending the Virtual Open House can plan in advance by reviewing all available sessions at

explorelc.ca and scheduling what works best for them. Prospectiv­e students can learn more from each of the college’s academic areas, representi­ng more than 65 certificat­e, diploma, applied degree, preemploym­ent and apprentice­ship programs. The free event also includes sessions with all of the college’s academic programs as well as student supports and services.

The open house makes it easier for potential students to begin their educationa­l journey, as the $100 applicatio­n fee will be waived for anyone who applies during the Virtual Open House (between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.) to an available program with a 2021 intake. As well, anyone who registers for and attends the open house will be entered into a draw to win a $1,500 tuition credit. Prospectiv­e students can visit

explorelc.ca to take a virtual tour, speak with a recruiter or learn more about living in residence — either before or during the Virtual Open House.
