In celebration of the class of 2024, LAC and PCC will host a Grad Fest and a Career Exploration Fair that will include food, games, resources, photobooths, cap and gown info and live music.
The LAC event was from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. on Wed. May 8th, and Thurs. May 16th in the EE quad at PCC.
The event had LBCC President Dr. Mike Muñoz passing out free paletas to all students and staff.
There were many booths to choose from career booths to help you with your resume to different university booths.
Once Munoz arrived with the paletas there was a big line full of excited students and staff to receive a free paleta from him.
