These aren’t just words—they’re the heartbeat and the values of the College of Lake County. We’re dedicated to providing equitable, high-quality education, cultural enrichment and meaningful partnership building with the diverse communities we’re honored to serve. In the Communication Arts Division, we truly believe that the arts have the power to reflect the world around us, inspire change through the sharing of stories and experiences, and, especially, bring people together to do great things.

I’m so excited to welcome you to a new season filled with creativity, learning and connection. This year’s lineup is bursting with opportunities to experience music, theater, dance and visual arts that will uplift and inspire you. Visit the Wright Community Gallery for stunning art exhibits, or immerse yourself in our film and literary series. We also offer free community workshops and events that are open to everyone— there’s something for every taste and interest! Each experience highlights the amazing talent at CLC and within our local community.

But it doesn’t stop there! Whether you’re drawn to literature, creative writing, communication studies, digital media, philosophy, the humanities, world languages or the visual and performing arts, we offer a wide variety of courses designed to enrich your life. Whether you’re here for personal growth, working toward a certificate, or pursuing a degree, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

We know that “Together, we are E.P.I.C., U. and I.”
