Planning Meetings Scheduled in Spencer and Spirit Lake

PLANNING MEETINGS SCHEDULED IN SPENCER AND SPIRIT LAKE

Individuals interested in taking evening and weekend Nursing or Massage Therapy classes are encouraged to attend meetings planned in Spencer and Spirit Lake in the next few weeks.

Those who want Nursing may attend meetings in either Spencer or Spirit Lake. The Spencer meeting will be on Thursday, Dec. 6 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. In Spirit Lake, there are two meetings – either Monday, Dec. 10 or Wednesday, Dec. 12. Both of the Spirit Lake meetings start at 6:30 p.m. Staff members will be on hand to provide assistance at all meetings.

“We want to encourage everyone who is beginning to think of either of these programs to take the time to stop by one of the sessions,” said Darin Moeller, Sprit Lake Campus Dean. “We’ll have the right people on hand to walk everyone through the process.”

Advanced planning is valuable in these programs – in particular the Nursing program.

“With just a little planning, students will be able to take a few courses now and won’t have an overload when they’re starting,” said Kitty Conover, Spencer Campus Dean. “They’ll likely be more successful this way. Those who start now will have the right prerequisite courses and won’t have an overload of classes when they’re starting their program.”

Massage enthusiasts are invited to attend the Spencer campus meeting on Thursday, Dec. 6 starting at 6:30 p.m. With the Massage Therapy program preparing to launch a series of classes in January, Conover said there will be room for up to 18 students.

“The Massage Therapy program has classes at times that most people can keep their daytime job and then take classes in the evening,” said Janet Gentle, instructor for the program.

Those who live in the eastern half of the Iowa Lakes area may be interested in attending sessions in Algona from 4-6 p.m. on three consecutive Mondays, Nov. 26, Dec. 3 or Dec. 10.

Individuals who are unable to attend one of the schedule meetings may call the Spencer campus at (712) 262-7141 or 1-877-807-9585; or the Spirit Lake campus at (712) 336-3439 or 1-877-807-9584.
