Have a student heading off to college soon? Attend the informative financial aid workshop that will guide you through the process of securing funds to pay for college.
Interested in welding? There will be scheduled workshops for ages 16 and up. Welding basics will be demonstrated and you will be able to help make metal art to take home.

In addition, you can take a free workshop on Google Docs and Google Drive at 2pm; learn about Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with an interactive scavenger hunt; attend an information session about CMC’s Bachelor in Elementary Education program; learn to tie knots; check out pond water through a microscope and take home some tips on sharpening knifes.
