BENTON TOWNSHIP, MI - Lake Michigan College will host a special information meeting for individuals interested in learning more about program and class offerings at the College's new South Haven campus this fall. The session will be held, Wednesday, May 14, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express on Phoenix Road at I-196, exit 20. The event is free of charge and open to the public.

Janice Varney, executive dean of the South Haven campus, will provide a brief overview of the campus and the programs that will be offered. The LMC advising and admissions staff will assist individuals with the steps needed to become a student and will provide information on services available such as career counseling and financial aid.

"There has been tremendous community interest regarding the campus," states Varney. "Even though the building is under construction, we want people to know that they can make plans now for classes that begin in August. We especially want to get the word out to adults who might be thinking about upgrading their current job skills or about pursing education that will lead to a new career."
