LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Office of Education is partnering with Woodland Community College’s Lake County Campus to host the Lake County College and Transfer Fair.

The event will take place from 9 to 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 24, at the campus, 15880 Dam Road Extension in Clearlake.

Current Lake County high school and community college students are invited to learn about opportunities to transfer to other schools.

They also can meet with representatives of colleges and universities including California State University, Chico; Dominican University of California; Cal Poly Humboldt; Jessup University; San Francisco State University; Simpson University; Sonoma State University; Southern Oregon University; University of California, Davis; University of California, Santa Cruz; Woodland Community College; and Mendocino College.

On Oct. 23, ahead of the fair, Woodland Community College will be honored with a Pathway Champion Award by the Campaign for College Opportunity. 

Each year, this organization recognizes California Community Colleges and CSU campuses that are breaking barriers to help more students transfer and graduate with a degree.

This year, WCC is among 40 Pathway Champions statewide and is recognized with an “Excellence in Placement” Award for campuswide growth in transfer-level English success. 

To earn this honor, WCC ranked among the top three California Community Colleges with the highest percentage point growth in students completing a transfer-level English course from the 2022-23 to 2023-24 academic year.
