LSC Student Stories

Emily Novotny

studies Surgical Technology

The Surg Tech learning environment at LSC allows students to get hands-on experience right away which truly made the experience so much better.

I’m a second year student in the surgical technology program. We assist the surgeon but also provide a safe place for the patient. We clean and prep the room for each patient while protecting the sterile field.

The faculty and staff are absolutely amazing. They will go out of their way to make sure students know they can ask questions and feel so welcome. It truly feels like a home every time you walk through those doors.

The surgical technology program is so diverse. You learn so many different instruments while learning how to keep things sterile. The entire time you are at Lake Superior College you have a support system to cheer you on.

Lake Superior College was one of the best decisions I made.
