What Books Are You Thankful For?

We in the library would like to know what books you as a student are thankful for! Please complete this survey for the library.

DMAC Photo and Video students joined Mr. Hollis and several other LBUSD students at LBCC's 'Meet the Arts' day.

Students heard from many arts and digital media professors and current students, toured the campus, met the Student Body President and enjoyed coffee and lunch in the quad, just like a college student! Students also had the chance to participate in breakout sessions with the professors in the arts and digital media classrooms. Many of them came away with a souvenir they made themselves, including jewelry, sculpture, ceramics, watercolors and photos. DMAC students will also have an opportunity in the Spring to experience the performing arts activities and programs LBCC has to offer. Stay tuned!

Good Morning, Lakewood!
