EPIC Campus Visit Days

Senior Tech Days

Lake Area Tech hosts two Senior Tech Days, one in the fall semester and one in the spring semester. Both events have taken place for this school year. Watch this page for next year’s dates.

These visitation days are fun-filled, information-packed, and help high school seniors decide the direction of their future. The day starts by allowing the students to fill the shoes of a Lake Area Tech student (we promise – no exams). Students find out what it’s like to attend class by getting into some great discussions with instructors and current students, working in the labs, and meeting new friends. Visitors then eat a free lunch and absorb information on the admissions process, applying for financial aid and scholarships, locating housing, and more! Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend.

Students find out what a day in the life of a Lake Area Tech student is like by meeting instructors and current students, working in the labs, doing hands-on activities, and meeting new friends. Career exploration is the focus. Visitors then eat a free lunch and absorb some basic information on the admissions process, applying for financial aid and scholarships, locating housing, and more!
