Community Newsletter August 22, 2022 Volume 6 Issue 4

Greetings Community Members – 


This is an exciting time of year for us. Fall classes begin on August 29.


Accessibility is one of the foundational values of community colleges. For that reason, we pride ourselves on registering students up until the minute before a class begins. Therefore, I want to emphasize that it is not too late to enroll in fall courses.


We are hoping for a busy week at all four of our locations. Our registration teams have carefully reviewed our processes so that we can minimize wait times and ensure that EVERY student receives individualized attention. 


Fall students will have the opportunity to participate in several exciting new initiatives this year including:

Expanded Workforce Offerings


Currently, our workforce enrollment is 55% higher than the previous fall and we still have seats available. In addition to our high-quality programs in Accounting, Business, Game Design, Human Services, HVAC, Logistics Management, Mechanical Design, Mobile App Design, and Welding, we have added Computer Science and Land Surveying for students this fall.

LSC-Houston North Workforce

Global Scholars Program


This competitively-selected program provides students with a pathway to distinction through its dynamic, intercultural learning experiences and an International Studies (IS) core-course curriculum. Graduates are well-positioned to live, work, compete, and collaborate in an increasingly globalized world.

New Partnerships


In addition to our strong partnership with Aldine ISD, we are pleased to welcome students from Klein ISD, Spring ISD, Evolution Academy, Meridian Academy, PSAT Academy, Premier High School, and Richard Milburn Academy.

Please send any students our way that may be interested in college. We are planning another Super Saturday event on August 27 at all four locations.


In addition, individuals can call 281.260.3500 or email HN-Info@LoneStar.edu for additional assistance or information.


I will note that while we want students to enroll by August 29, students that do not meet that deadline can still enroll in our second 8-week term starting in October. 

I wish each of you well. Thank you for being supportive community partners.


Sincerely,


Quentin Wright, Ed.D.

There's no shame in owning it. You're doing it for you.


Maybe you have a five-year plan. Maybe you're trying it again after a long break. Perhaps it's to prove a point.


Whatever your reason, it's valid, and we are here for it. Because at Lone Star College-Houston North, our why is you.
