GODFREY - More than 600 guests, including 365 incoming students, converged on Lewis and Clark Community College's Godfrey Campus, Thursday, Aug. 20, for Trailblazer Welcome Day.

The annual event is a chance for students and their families to learn about student services, clubs and activities, meet instructors, and find their classes in preparation for the semester, which begins Monday, Aug. 24.

"It was great welcoming so many students with their friends and family to campus," said Recruiter Kimberly Hausman. "We're really getting excited for the start of the fall semester."

Many students also participated in a campus-wide scavenger hunt for prizes.
