Parents Information

Getting Involved

There are many opportunities to get involved in campus life at Lakeland College.

Lakeland hosts Family Weekends a couple times each year. On these weekends, activities are organized to appeal to all ages, and parents and siblings are encouraged to visit campus. Movies on the big screen, athletic events, cookouts and special performances by entertainers such as Pat McCurdy have all been a part of some of Lakeland's Family Weekends in the past. Contact Student Life for specific information on the next Family Weekend.

Lakeland also hosts alumni and community events locally including networking opportunities, tailgate parties, the annual Blaster's golf outing and various alumni banquets. For more information on alumni events, check out the alumni area of the website.

Lakeland is an active place. With over 20 student organizations and 11 athletic teams, there are a myriad of things to do. The college also hosts a Fine Arts Series and a Lecture Series, bringing in a number of speakers and entertainers throughout the year. Check our latest Student Activities calendar (pdf download) or keep an eye on our interactive online calendar for more information.

Student Services

Lakeland offers a number of different support services to our students. The Hayssen Academic Resource center provides free academic tutoring in many subjects and features a large computer lab for a quiet place to study. Additionally, assistance is available for students with poor study habits and test taking anxiety to work through those problems and find solutions. If you have academic concerns about your son/daughter, feel free to contact Director Paul White, 920-565-1412 or whitepm@lakeland.edu.

Students at Lakeland College are assisted in finding employment through the Student Employment Office, part of the Career Development Office. We offer assistance in finding jobs on and off campus. The average rate of pay for on campus jobs is $6.00/hr. Most students typically work 8 to 12 hours per week. This still allows ample study time for a full-time student. Students employed on campus are paid on a monthly basis.

There are many different types of jobs available to Lakeland College students. The College employs approximately 400 students each school year. Almost every department on campus has student employees. Student employees staff the weight room, library, dish room, and business office; students serve as resident assistants, tutors, athletic team managers, cashiers and lab assistants. These are just a few of the many jobs available to students! In conjunction with Lakeland's "Student As Practitioner" Model, we encourage students to find employment on campus that offers relevant experience in their academic field. For example, an elementary education major should consider working at the Learning Tree Academy day care center, and a computer science major should consider working in the IT department. If you have specific questions about the student employment at Lakeland College, please contact Chelsy Cegielski at 920-565-1518 or via e-mail at cegielskicm@lakeland.edu.

One of Lakeland's financial aid counselors is designated as a Student Financial Counselor. She can answer all of the student's concerns about paying for college as well as provide advice about managing money and other financial concerns as a student. Sue Bialk can be reached at 920-565-1258 or bialkse@lakeland.edu.

Questions and concerns about housing can be directed to Margaret Teske, 920-1228 or via e-mail at teskemm@lakeland.edu.

A campus counselor is available to assist students with any personal problems he/she might encounter while at Lakeland College. Cary Knier can be reached at 920-565-1527 or via e-mail at knierca@lakeland.
