Fall Semester Now Underway, Welcome IceHawks! | |
We're thrilled to welcome all of our new and returning IceHawks to Fall Semester 2022! It has been great to see full parking lots, busy hallways and smiling faces, and to feel the excitement of a new semester. Thanks to everyone involved in last week's Kickoff events and this week's Welcome Week events, and for making our students feel welcome, prepare and supported. See Fox21's coverage of Kickoff and Welcome Week. Have a great fall semester! | |
LSC Foundation Board Celebrates Most Successful Year in Foundation History | |
The Lake Superior College Foundation Board of Directors held a Board Social this summer to help celebrate the end of Fiscal Year 2022, which was the most successful year in the nearly forty-year history of the Foundation both in terms of funds raised and funds distributed to students. We also thanked and honored the three outgoing members who are cycling off the Board after many years of dedicated service. Andy Reierson and Diane Rauschenfels both served three consecutive terms, and an extra year during COVID, for a total of a decade of service on our Board. Tom Renier served two terms for a total of six years on the Board. Thank you Andy, Diane and Tom! We also thanked Terese Tomanek for serving as Board Chair these past couple of years and helping lead us through the challenges of the pandemic, and welcomed our incoming Board Chair Carl Crawford. We look forward to continuing the positive momentum into Fiscal Year 2023. Thank you to everyone who helps support our students at LSC through your generous support of the LSC Foundation. | LSC Faculty Member's OER Textbooks Used by Thousands Worldwide | |

Lake Superior College’s Jody Ondich, Humanities and Philosophy faculty member, has authored two Open Education Resource (OER) textbooks hosted online by the University of Minnesota’s Open Textbook Library. Words of Wisdom: Intro to Philosophy was the most used textbook on the Open Textbook Library site in 2019-2020 academic year, with over 49,000 users and over 92,000 page views all over the world, including Sydney, Australia; London, New York, Karachi, Lahore and more. Her latest book, World Religions: The Spirit of Searching, went up on the university site in October 2021, and it has already had over 4,600 users and over 13,000 page views from places such as Sydney, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Ephraim and more. That’s an amazing reach. Congratulations, Jody!
Lake Superior College offers a zero text book cost Z-degree where students can earn their associate degree with zero textbook costs using OER textbooks like these. Not only is LSC nationally recognized for quality programs and affordable tuition, but OER textbooks and the Z-degree make earning an associate degree even more affordable.
