Oakton to hold two April preview events for admitted students

Oakton Community College will host two admitted student preview evenings Wednesday, April 19, and Tuesday, April 25, to help admitted students discover how Oakton can help expand options and build career credentials in an affordable way.

The special preview evenings are geared toward admitted students and their parents to learn more about the many resources Oakton provides students to reach their educational and career goals.

“Take a tour, learn about financial aid and scholarships, view ‘sample classes’ and check out student activities and services,” says Michele Brown, director of student recruitment and outreach. “Whether you're looking for meaningful hands-on learning opportunities, internships, student clubs and activities—or you want to save money by taking general education classes—we're here to help you reach your goals.”

Discover why Oakton is ranked No. 33 among more than 1,700 community colleges for value and why the college is ranked 15th in the nation on Washington Monthly’s list of top colleges for adult learning. With more than 2,500 course offerings each term, Oakton offers a wealth of educational options in the heart of Chicago’s northern suburbs. Earn an associate degree from 80 areas of study that range from allied health, science, and technology to business and liberal arts. Whether transferring to a four-year institution or starting a career, or changing careers, convenient courses help students expand their options and prepare for a better future.

Two dates and Oakton campus locations are offered:

• Wednesday, April 19, 6-8 p.m., 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines
• Tuesday, April 25, 6-8 p.m., Room P103, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie
