Life doesn’t always go according to plan. But that doesn’t mean you have to start over or let it set you back.

For Hannah, the credits she had already earned — along with the work experience she gained over the last eight years — counted toward her degree at Lakeland.

She wasn’t starting over... she was building on everything she had already accomplished.

Your experience has value, and at Lakeland, we recognize it — and want to help you get credit for it. Find out how your previous college, work and life experience could help you earn credit toward your degree — and save you time and money along the way.

Good leadership starts with understanding how you lead — and knowing how to bring your team with you.

This fall, Lakeland University and Booth Leadership are offering two full-day workshops focused on practical leadership development.

Experience Leadership 101 on Oct. 13 will explore leadership effectiveness, personal leadership philosophy and style, and connecting personal values with organizational strategy.

Leading Your Team Into Greater Alignment, Engagement and Productivity on Nov. 5 will focus on leading teams well, with interactive activities built around teamwork and leadership.

Both workshops are designed for current and aspiring leaders, managers, team leads and professionals looking to strengthen their leadership skills.

You may not be able to be on campus with your favorite Muskies, but you can still send a little love their way.

Lakeland’s Hugs from Home program makes it easy to send a care package to a student — whether you’re celebrating a birthday, cheering them on through a big milestone or simply letting them know you’re thinking about them.

Because sometimes, a little something from home or the people they love is just what they need.

A new academic year doesn’t happen without the people working behind the scenes to make it all possible.

Our student support staff are here year-round to help students navigate college, answer questions, solve problems and make connections. They’re often among the first faces students and families meet — and they remain a familiar resource throughout the college experience, playing an essential role in student success.

At Lakeland, student success is a team effort. We’re proud of the people who show up every day to help our students thrive and make Lakeland a place that’s always home.

We are excited to kick off a historic year for our Life & Career Studies (LCS) program with 22 incredible students, including 8 new students joining our community!

This year marks several exciting milestones: Our first year with students from all four class levels, Freshman through Senior, on campus. 7 students are enrolled in our Degree+ LCS program, while 15 students are pursuing our certificate program. And perhaps most exciting of all, we will celebrate our first graduating class this May!

We are so proud of how our program has grown and look forward to a year filled with learning, independence, career exploration, friendships and new opportunities.

Please join us in welcoming our newest students and cheering on all of our LCS students as they begin another amazing year!
