Ord Learning Center Open for Business

Tonight, the Ord Learning Center opens its doors to the public for Central Community College spring classes registration and an open house.  The Grand Island Independent has coverage of the event:

The event will also serve as a registration and information session for this spring’s classes available through the Ord site. This semester, as the new site gets up and running, only “extended learning services” classes — or independent study classes with tests at a CCC satellite site — are available in Ord.

Lansman said the furniture and hardware is expected to be installed later this spring, and classes via distance learning and on-campus instruction will begin this fall (emphasis mine).

Come on down tonight, between 6-8p if you have interest in what’s going on at the Learning Center.  We’d love to have you!
