Food Drive Week!!

We will be starting our Food Drive starting on Tuesday February 22nd and going on through the end of the week. Our Ambassadors will be going to each classroom picking up donations of non-perishable food items. These items go to our own food pantry, which is used to help those in need here on campus. All food should be non-perishable and not expired or damaged.

If you have any questions, contact one of our ambassadors on campus (the ones with the black scrubs or black polo shirts).

Don't Forget!

The Everest College SLC Campus will be closed on Monday, February 21 in observance of President's Day. Enjoy and we will see you on Tuesday the 22nd.

Looking for information to use on that research paper? Can't seem to find anything useful on Google? Well, LIRN is here to help! LIRN is a collection of databases that information directly applying to your field of study.

Join the Freshman Club!

We are starting a freshman club on campus to help our newer students get the most out of their schooling. It meets on Fridays from 4p to 5p. The Club is open to any students in MODs 1-3. We will be discussing attendance and course expectations, how career services can help them during and after their schooling, what student services can do to help them, and how the library and LIRN.net can help them get the most out of their time here.
