“Future in Focus” is a brand-new Career and Education Expo, hosted each spring at the LSC Main Campus.
The first expo is on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, from 8 am – 4 pm.
The expo combines the best from the former Career, Transfer, and Grad Fair and the spring Student Success Day. The day will feature recruiter tabling, empowering workshops and presentations, the spring Grad Fair, and a scholarship donor appreciation event.
This new event is designed to provide students with a purposeful break from their regular academic routine, offering time to reflect on and actively engage with their future goals.
The Future in Focus: Career and Education Expo will feature a wide range of opportunities for students, including part-time and full-time employment, transfer options. Beyond networking with employers and educational institutions, students can benefit from presentations and interactive workshops and presentations designed to support academic and career development across all areas of study. This day will also provide a time to honor our scholarship recipients and their generous donors, as well as preparing graduating students for commencement. A free student lunch will be provided thanks to Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union. Learn more about the “Lunch and Learn” Series hosted by Affinity Plus in the Center for Equity and Inclusion throughout the semester during the expo lunch.
