Lakeland University will celebrate the opening of its new presence at Lakeshore College with a community open house Sept. 10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Lakeshore College’s Cleveland campus, where Lakeland University’s new location is housed in the Cedar Building in the Office of Student Life.
There will be remarks from Lakeland University President Dr. Beth Borgen and Lakeshore College President Dr. Paul Carlsen, will be held at 11 a.m. Visitors can learn more about how students benefit from the partnership between the two schools.
“This new location demonstrates our continued investment in students and in the communities we serve,” Borgen said. “Lakeland and Lakeshore have worked together for many years to create meaningful educational pathways that allow students to pursue bachelor’s degrees close to home.
The Lake to Lake partnership offers students clear transfer pathways designed to simplify the transition from an associate degree to a bachelor’s degree while minimizing both time and cost.
By maintaining a dedicated presence on the Lakeshore campus, Lakeland’s admissions team will be readily available to assist students with transfer planning, admissions, financial aid and academic advising, making student transition as seamless as possible.
The collaborative approach between Lakeshore and Lakeland has been recognized throughout the region. In 2025, Lakeland University and Lakeshore College were jointly honored as the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation’s Economic Driver of the Year.
Lakeshore College becomes the eighth Wisconsin technical college campus where Lakeland has a presence. Others include Blackhawk Technical College in Janesville, Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton, Mid-State Technical College in both Wisconsin Rapids and Marshfield, Moraine Park Technical College in Fond du Lac, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay and Waukesha County Technical College in Pewaukee.
