“I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you’re really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flip-flops, you’re saying: ‘Hope I don’t get chased today.’ ‘Be

nice to people in sneakers.” » Demetri Martin

During these sessions, we provide the answers needed to make the right decisions about post-secondary. We’ll cover program opportunities and delivery options, as well as financial and student awards, and the many other student services offered. We’ll also go over the application process, and the information needed to start on the path to becoming a student at Lethbridge College. Registration will be open on the Lethbridge College website during the first week of January 2019. Winter Open House Saturday, February 9, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Lethbridge College Centre Core Take a tour of the campus. Speak with a faculty member or a representative from an academic area of interest.
