Licking County Learning Lab

Love where you live — and learn along the way.

Connect with the local community through this immersive practical learning experience. Open to all first-year students, the Licking County Learning Lab (LCLL) will take you to locally celebrated institutions like Dawes Arboretum; Newark Earthworks; and The Works: Ohio Center for History, Art & Technology.

Meet motivated students just like you. We’ll head to The Works museum right after Convocation where you can:

  • explore the interactive museum
  • view a show in the SciDome planetarium
  • watch a glassblowing demonstration

Plus, get free food and a special giveaway to mark our inaugural event. 

Space is limited; registration (coming soon) is required by Aug. 10.
