[edit] History
In 1968, A. Harold Anderson and Paul W. Brandel donate 181-acre (73.2 ha) parcel of land for Grayslake Campus. Dr. Richard G. Erzen is named first president; serves until 1978. First classes are held on the Grayslake campus on September 25, 1969, drawing an enrollment 2,360 students, taking 224 courses. Tuition is $7 per semester hour. Classes are offered in a six-building pre-fabricated complex, constructed at a cost of approximately $1 million. Referendum passes in December authorizing construction of a permanent campus.[1]
In 1974, the A and B wings are completed on the Grayslake Campus and CLC receives its first five-year accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.[citation needed]
[edit] Campus Locations
CLC opens an outreach center in Waukegan in 1978. By 1981, the Lakeshore campus is opened in Waukegan. Property is purchased for Southlake Educational Center in Vernon Hills in 1998. By 2007, new classroom building opens at Southlake Educational Center and is designated as Southlake campus.[1]
[edit] University Center of Lake County
A 2006 addition next to the Grayslake campus is the University Center of Lake County, a consortium of four-year colleges offering the opportunity for local residents to complete or add to their education begun at CLC or elsewhere. The Center is not officially part of CLC, but its presence offers a great opportunity for CLC students and other local residents to pursue further education without relocating or commuting a greater distance. Currently, there are 18 universities with classes offered at the University Center.[3]
