Students and Parents Invited to WSCC Connections: Fall Semester Kick-off Celebration

“WSCC Connections: Fall Kick-Off Celebration,” a free campus-wide event for all new and returning students and parents, will be held at West Shore Community College on Thurs., August 23, from 5 – 9 p.m.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and speak with representatives from all areas of the college and student leaders from various student organizations. Advising and financial aid will also be available.

In addition to information, students will have the opportunity to have fun, meet other students, win prizes and be taken on a campus tour. Food will also be provided throughout the evening free of charge.

Motivational Speaker Andy Stoll will inspire attendees with a 60-minute, high-energy presentation “How to Find Your Calling and Career, Personal Leadership and Travel” that motivates audiences to explore the world with their eyes wide open.

Those who attend will leave the presentation inspired and equipped with eight specific strategies to help them turn their biggest dreams into a reality, whether that dream is to travel around the world or something a little closer to home.

Later in the evening, chainsaw juggling daredevil Mad Chad Taylor will perform. Taylor got his start juggling at the early age of 13 on the Venice Beach boardwalk. Since then, he has performed his interactive brand of comedy for audiences across the globe.

The energetic comedian, known for his electrifying and pulse-pounding stunts, has entertained audiences at more than 1,000 college shows over the course of his career.   He has also made TV appearances in 12 countries, juggling everything from chainsaws to flaming tennis balls. His daring act of juggling chainsaws even earned him a Guinness World Record.

Students planning to attend should RSVP by calling 231-843-5510, or emailing admissions@westshore.edu.

Check-in will take place in the Schoenherr Campus Center starting at 5 p.m.
