HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS EXPLORE APPRENTICESHIPS
Lake County high school students are venturing with CLC to explore local apprenticeship opportunities this summer. A generous grant provided funding to take students on field trips to different companies so the next generation of high school grads better understands what an apprenticeship is and can explore career options.
FARM MARKET OPEN FOR SUMMER
Fresh produce grown by students on the Grayslake Campus is available for purchase this summer at CLC's farm market. Every Thursday from 3-5:30 p.m. through October, stop by for vegetables, flowers, herbs, honey and tea. Any extras are donated to local food pantries.

Bring your reusable bags and leave time to explore the Living Lab Trail around campus. The 1.5 mile loop intersects with the paths to the Lake County Forest Preserves and also features easy access to downtown Grayslake. 
MAKE TIME TO LEARN WITH SUPER-CHARGED SATURDAYS
Finding time to take classes with an already busy schedule during the week can be a nightmare. CLC helps alleviate some of this stress with Super-Charged Saturdays.

Super-Charged Saturdays include eight-week blended classes that help you earn your associate in arts degree.

Students study online during the week and join classmates in-person on Saturdays at the Southlake Campus in Vernon Hills.
BUILDING THE TEACHER PIPELINE
Teachers are in high demand. Students can begin their careers as educators at CLC with a transfer degree in elementary or secondary education.

The required classes for both degrees are the same, so students who aren't sure which level they want to teach yet have time to decide.

CLC makes the transfer process easy with more than 30 Guaranteed Transfer Admission partners across the country.
MAKE LEARNING FUN WITH QUEST
Learning becomes a lot more fun when it's interactive! Summer Quest programs at CLC provide adults in the community with an exciting opportunity to take a deep dive into interesting topics.

Registration is open for the August session, which focuses on the war in Ukraine. It will end with a visit to Chicago's Ukrainian Village.
CLC CELEBRATES JUNETEENTH
CLC held two events this past month in honor of Juneteenth. This was the first year the college closed in honor of the holiday.

On campus, CLC enjoyed a mixture of entertainment and history during the June 15 celebration. The activities included drum performances, the history of the Lake County Underground railroad, a reading of the Emancipation Proclamation and more. 

On June 19, CLC sponsored the Juneteenth Gospel Concert at First Corinthian Baptist Church.

In her post, Janson discusses the issues facing the supply chain and the different ways businesses can potentially solve them.

SPOTLIGHT: ALUM RETURNS TO CLC AS HEAD ATHLETIC TRAINER
Pablo Valencia Garcia graduated from CLC in 2017, and now he finds himself back as the head athletic trainer.

After earning an associate in arts from CLC, Valencia Garcia transferred to Northern Illinois where he earned his bachelor's degree. Afterward, he earned a master’s degree in athletic training from Illinois State University.

“It’s been nice seeing former professors around campus where I last saw them,” he said. “I’ve come full circle because everything they taught me, I’m doing now. If it weren’t for the experiences I had at CLC, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”
