INA, IL– Dozens of prospective students and student-athletes traveled to campus Saturday to learn more about Rend Lake College during Preview Day, an event similar to an open house, and All-Sport Prospect Day.

At Preview Day, students received a unique look at RLC and campus life during one of the college’s most-popular events: Warrior Fest. While on campus, students met with faculty and staff from each division on campus, and entered into a drawing to win a scholarship from the RLC Foundation or an Academic Award. The winner of the Academic Award is Josh Pickus of Millstadt, a Belleville West High School student interested in attending RLC to study Diesel Mechanics and Agriculture. The scholarship winner is Megan Moody of Pinckneyville, a current RLC Radiologic Technology student.

Similarly, Prospect Day attendees had the chance to meet-and-greet with RLC coaches and tour campus. In the afternoon, the athletes had the chance to show off their skills before each coach.
