Meet the Counselors

Lake Land College counselors provide free and confidential assistance with:

• Educational and career development
• Information regarding Lake Land College degrees and transfer requirements
• Crisis intervention and referral to campus and community resources
• Developing strategies to enhance life and academic skills

In addition, each counselor is assigned to a specific academic division at the College and works closely with that particular division’s chair, faculty and programs. Also, each counselor works with designated transfer institutions that allows for seamless transitions for our students.
