I would say that our major is probably one of the more close-knit majors on campus, just because we all know each other really well. Everything is really personal between all of us. So the students we all study together, the professor will come out to help us study if he needs to, his office is always open for us, emails back to us really quickly, things like that. So it was really, really close-knit. It's really a family-oriented major.

One of the things that makes our department shine is that we do have incredible partnerships with a whole host of community stakeholders and school districts in the area. As the professor of Special Education, I really do try to seek out opportunities in the community. One of

the classes that we take is Intro to Exceptional Needs. And part of that class we go out to Broadmoor, and we play a basketball game with lots of special needs students out there and so not being Intervention Specialist major, it was really nice game to go into an environment that I'm not used to. The environment is very, very close. So you walk down the hallway and your professors, they recognize you. Your art teachers really focusing on your visual art skills, your theater professor that's, really concentrate on acting and then your dance professors are really going in on your dance ability and technique and whatnot.

At Lake Erie College, we have many opportunities for students that will like to study abroad, long terms for for one semester or one year, or short terms. We also have some partnerships with institution universities abroad. We have it in Italy, we have it in England, I think they're working also for Australia. And they learn a lot about themselves.

We have eight clubs and organizations there. So you can go in and learn from some of the current members what the club is all about and how to join and get involved and people around campus are very friendly. If you see them wearing a t-shirt that says the name of some kind of club you go up to say, "Hey, how do I get into that?" They will be more than willing to tell you how.
