 Summer break is over for one area college as its students headed back to class for the upcoming 2017-18 school year. Central Lakes College students headed back to school today at both its Brainerd and Staples campus. The school year is the second for CLC president, Harry Charlier, who says that the college has some high standards and goals to meet in 2017, including putting together a new strategic plan. We believe very much in relationship building and this is the college that we want to be the college that cares, the friendly college. So we're going to spend a lot of time building additional relationships both internally and externally. We will be focusing specifically on student success, developing strategies to help students not just come in the door, but also to be successful, meaning complete or transfer. We want to make sure that we have those support services in place so that's a big focus and we'll be conducting an exciting strategic planning session. Fall classes also begin today at Bemidji State University. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
