For a home to look its best, it should have paint colors that complement the finishes in the home. Studies have shown that the wrong paint colors are one of the top five reasons that people will not be interested in a home.

Whether you are buying or selling a home or simply redecorating, this course will help you to select paint colors that bring out the best in the home. A book is required and can be purchased from the instructor for $20 in class.

Students who have completed The Power of Art (Part 1) may continue with Part 2. You have become familiar with several of the great artists. In this next class, the curriculum will focus on the elements and principles of art. These are the basic ingredients in creating any work of art.

It promotes well-being, improves communication and helps those involved to express feelings and thoughts, also enhancing self-esteem and self-awareness.

THE PRESIDENT’S CLUB

President’s Club lecture program is based on the best selling book (of the same name) by journalist/historians Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy. Looking at the relationships (both public and private) between current and former Presidents, it began when Harry Truman called on Herbert Hoover to help him address problems in post-WWII Europe and convince Republicans to support his initiatives. The stories will continue through the complicated working relationship between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Perhaps the most surprising story will be the activities and clandestine impact of Richard Nixon after he resigned the Presidency.

7.

What is important for me to remember for synchronous online classes?

Check your CLC email for details about delivery from your instructor. Take a look at the location and time settings on your computer and email accounts.

Since courses are delivered at a specific time, it is important that your device reflects the accurate time zone.

“I just missed being killed by about three seconds.”

– Christine Burke praising CLC’s defensive driving course.

Christine Burke of Lake Barrington enrolled in our Defensive Driving Course. While driving less than a week later, she used a lesson from the course to narrowly avoid getting smashed broadside by a car that ran a red light.

Burke said that she hesitated at the intersection, recalling a tip she learned in the defensive driving course called “delayed acceleration” waiting two or three seconds before entering an intersection if yours is the first car there. She credits this decision with saving her life.

WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS Community colleges are the largest provider of public workforce training in the state. Today’s careers require some postsecondary education. However, in 2020 only 52.2 percent of Illinois residents had a college degree or post-secondary credential. CLC ramps up and re-engineers workforce development programs quickly, helping businesses and government stay ahead of the curve.

“Our career pathways train students to get into the workforce quickly, then allow them to come back to CLC and continue to advance their knowledge, skills and ultimately value to companies.”

– Dr. Ali O’Brien, Vice President of Community and Workforce Partnerships

In fiscal year 2021, CLC interacted with nearly 300 unique employers, developing curriculum and apprenticeships, contract training, internships, professional development and job placement for graduating students.
