Lewis and Clark Com- munity College wel- comed more than 350 new and returning students to the Godfrey Campus for Trailblazer Welcome Day, Wednesday, Aug. 20.
The event included a welcome from Presi- dent Ken Trzaska in the afternoon, followed by a Campus Scavenger Hunt that sent students to more than two dozen locations across campus, collecting stamps for a chance to win prizes. At each location, they had the opportunity to learn about services available to students.
“The goal was to get students more familiar with campus and cre- ate some visibility for a wide variety of student services we offer,” said Director of Student Ser- vices Crystal Robinson.
“Students in attendance were able to interact with faculty and staff and were able to build a rap- port that will make them successful and feel like a part of the community.”
Students also had the opportunity to pay for classes, register for parking hang tags and get books and supplies from the bookstore. The Student Welcome Cen- ter remained open until 6 p.m. for any students needing to take care of enrollment, advising or financial aid.
Robinson said the event was a success and will most likely become an annual one.
“We think it will con- tinue to grow as more team members on cam- pus and more students continue to participate,” she said.
