LSC Celebrates Manufacturing Month, Rolls Out New Ad Featuring Manufacturing Student, and Hosts Manufacturing Open House Tomorrow |
|
October is Manufacturing Month. To help us celebrate, meet Kyler Waters - a current student from Northwest Wisconsin. He's in his first year of LSC’s Integrated Manufacturing program and chose LSC after hearing great things about the school; attending an open house; touring the downtown facility; meeting recruiters, advisors and instructors; and now highly recommends that anyone interested in manufacturing attend LSC's Integrated Manufacturing Open House tomorrow, Thursday, October 7, starting at 3:00 p.m., at LSC’s downtown campus.
Kyler already works at Altec, while attending school, and knows there's a strong and growing workforce need for those trained in computer-aided design (CAD), machine tool, and welding in this region. LSC graduates' job placement rate is nearly 100%!
There are still a few open tour slots available tomorrow afternoon. For more info and to RSVP for the open house, visit: lsc.edu/downtownopenhouse. Even if you can't make it tomorrow, you can always schedule a tour of any of LSC's four campus locations at lsc.edu/visit. |

Mask Up and Take the Shot, IceHawks!
Safety remains our highest priority. Masks/face covering continue to be required inside all public spaces on all Lake Superior College campus locations, regardless of vaccination status.
Vaccinations: Minnesota State is following the guidance from the State of Minnesota and Minnesota Department of Health on vaccinations of our students and employees. An all employee email went out on September 8, and is also available on the website.
All state workers, including all LSC employees, must either be fully vaccinated or be tested for COVID every week. Employees are able to find additional information on available vaccines at www.mn.gov/covid19. While students are not currently required to be vaccinated (with exceptions in some programs, including some healthcare programs), we are strongly encouraging all students to get vaccinated as soon as possible. The most effective way we can reduce the spread of COVID-19 and avoid further restrictions as we move forward is to get vaccinated as soon as possible, if you’re not already. For more information on this and how to find a vaccine location, please visit mn.gov/covid19/.
