INA, Ill. (Oct. 3, 2016) - Prospective students and their families are invited to take a look inside Rend Lake College during RLC’s upcoming Preview Day event.
From 3 to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 10, all three RLC campuses will be open to the public with faculty and staff on-hand to speak with those interested in the college and its programs. One lucky visitor will even walk away with a 12-credit-hour academic award, a value of $1,500.
Visitors to the main campus should visit the Student Center to register for tours of the campus and prizes. Those visiting Mt. Vernon and Pinckneyville campuses should start their visit in the main lobbies.
Attendees can speak directly with faculty and staff about programs, admissions, financial aid, and more. Tours of campus or specific programs will be available from 3 to 6:30 p.m. Informational booths will also be conveniently located in the Student Center’s Private Dining Area in the back of the building. Each of RLC’s divisions will be represented as well as many student services, including Advisement, Career Services and Financial Aid.
Throughout the Ina campus, educators will be presenting information to prospective students in the various buildings they teach. Detailed maps pointing to specific programs, services and facilities will be available in the Student Center.
