INA, Ill. (March 26, 2018) - Local ninth and 10th graders visited Rend Lake College last week to attend "Kickstart Your Journey," an event designed to get freshmen and sophomores thinking about college. The students attended several sessions while on campus, focusing on higher education, goal setting, dual credit and dual enrollment opportunities, and financial aid.
