Prospective Students Invited to ‘Discover Lewis and Clark’

GODFREY – Lewis and Clark Community College invites prospective students and their families to explore all the college has to offer during its upcoming Discover Day Open House, Monday, Feb. 16, 2026, from 3-5 p.m.

The event will take place in The Commons on the college’s Godfrey Campus and offers an inside look at why so many students choose L&C as the first step in their higher education journey.

Guests can connect with faculty and staff, explore career and transfer pathways, and experience the energy of student life at Lewis and Clark. Advisors, admissions representatives and current students will be available to answer questions and help prospective students map out their next steps.

“Discover Day gives students the opportunity to explore career options and see how Lewis and Clark can support them in reaching their goals,” said Vice President of Student Affairs Cherise Jackson.

Representatives will be on hand to discuss programs in healthcare, technology, business and more. With nearly 40 degree and certificate programs, L&C provides pathways designed to launch students into the workforce or seamlessly transfer to a four-year institution.

Students who begin at L&C can save more than $21,000 on a bachelor’s degree through transfer options. Learn more at www.lc.edu/save.

Known for small class sizes and personalized support, L&C offers an affordable, accessible pathway to higher education. The Financial Aid team will also be available to assist families with FAFSA questions and explain grants, loans and scholarship opportunities. The 2026–2027 scholarship application is available at www.lc.edu/scholarships, with more than 175 scholarships offered. Full-ride scholarships are available to students graduating in the top 20 percent of their high school class within the LC district.

Discover Day also highlights campus life beyond the classroom. Attendees can meet current students, learn about clubs and organizations, enjoy free snacks and participate in guided campus tours throughout the event.

“Students who get involved on campus tend to have stronger academic and social outcomes,” said L&C Recruiter Kimberly Hausman. “We strive to create a welcoming environment where students can grow, connect and make the most of their college experience.”

Discover Day is held twice each year on Presidents Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day, when area school districts are closed. L&C remains open to make it easier for families to attend without missing school or work.
