Guests may also learn about the many advantages of attending Lone Star College – campuses are close to home for students who may have work or family obligations, and the potential earning power in the workplace of a worker with an associate degree is substantially higher than those with only a high school diploma.
In addition, Lone Star College offers specialized career training and certification in high-demand and growth industries like healthcare, energy, manufacturing and computer technology.
“In today’s economy, with tuition skyrocketing at four-year universities, Lone Star College is a much more affordable option for obtaining a quality education close to home,” said Laura Morris, associate vice chancellor of marketing and communications.
“This is a great opportunity to learn about all of the tremendous advantages offered by attending a Lone Star College,” said Morris.
The college open house events will also feature free food, music and giveaways that include Houston Rockets tickets (club level with parking passes), Wii game systems, scholarships and more.
