Talk About Hands-on Learning! |
|
Students in Lake Superior College’s carpentry program (with help from LSC wiring students on the electrical work) are about halfway done with a community house build.
Each year, students put their new skills to work on a residential building project. Last year, LSC students helped construct a single family home in the Denfeld area, and the finished product was impressive. This year is coming together very well, too.
This video is just a sneak peek of the work in progress. We're excited to see you the finished project in a few months.
(Side note: clips from the build will also appear in an upcoming LSC TV ad which will be played frequently during the Olympics on KBJR.)

The LSC Foundation scholarship application window will open Monday, February 14, and remain open until Monday, March 14.

The application process is completely online and will be available once the application window opens on February 14. Several scholarships will be available including program specific scholarships in each academic division (liberal arts/transfer, business and industry, and allied health and nursing) as well as general scholarships, workforce development scholarships and more.
For more information on these scholarship opportunities, including eligibility requirements and the application process, please contact the LSC Foundation directly at foundation@lsc.edu and/or visit lsc.edu/foundation.
Every year we receive four times more applications than we have awards to give; however some scholarships, with very specific criteria, sometimes don't have any eligible applicants. So, we really encourage anyone interested in applying. We've made the application quite simple, with a short series of qualifying questions and then 3-4 essay questions. Even if you're not awarded a scholarships this cycle, we keep applications on file for up to a year so that if additional funding becomes available other scholarships may be awarded.

Please keep masking up, 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. We encourage everyone to get vaccinated and boosted, and continue to offer a $100 incentive for currrent LSC students who receive a vaccine.
As a reminder, please do not come to campus if you're feeling sick, symptomatic and/or had exposure to COVID-19. This includes those mandated under Policy 1446 to complete weekly testing on campus. If you are feeling sick or feel you may have been exposed to COVID-19, please contact your healthcare provider and/or use community testing sites rather than coming to campus for testing, as we are not set up like a community testing site. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The most effective way we can reduce the spread of COVID-19 and avoid further restrictions is to get vaccinated. For more information and how to find a vaccine location, please visit mn.gov/covid19/.
