(Sault Ste. Marie, MI) – Lake Superior State University (LSSU) is offering high school and transfer students an inside look at its academic programs in the College of Business, Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics during the Fall 2024 Academic Showcase on Friday, December 6th, with events planned later in the year for other college showcases. This event provides an invaluable opportunity for admitted students to explore everything that LSSU’s College of Business, Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics has to offer. Attendees will get a firsthand experience of the LSSU community, allowing them to immerse themselves in the campus culture and learn what makes LSSU a standout choice for their future education.
The showcase will kick off with a comprehensive campus tour, allowing students to explore the campus and top-notch facilities. Attendees will get a glimpse of life at LSSU with tours of state-of-the-art labs and other facilities. During the event, participants will also have the opportunity to meet and engage with current students, respected faculty members, and the Dean of the College.
Throughout the day, attendees will receive detailed information about LSSU’s diverse academic programs, including key features of each department. Faculty members will be available to discuss the unique aspects of the programs and how they align with students’ career aspirations. Prospective students will also have multiple opportunities for one-on-one discussions with both faculty and current students. These interactions are designed to provide valuable insight into academic experiences, potential career paths, and the range of scholarships available at LSSU.
“As an example, earning an engineering degree from Lake Superior State University can provide a pathway to rewarding careers at top companies across the United States,” said Dr. Joe Moening, Chair of the School of Engineering & Technology. “Our graduates are equipped with the practical skills and innovative mindset needed to excel, with a median starting salary of over $70,000 USD — equivalent to nearly $100,000 CAD at current exchange rates. This reflects the strong demand for the talent and dedication fostered within our program.”
Adding to the excitement, participants will have the chance to meet LSSU head hockey coach Damon Whitten during a special pre-game session.
