Becoming a Warrior We are honored that your son or daughter is considering becoming a Warrior, and we want to help you connect to LCSC as well! It's tough to see your child grow up and leave the nest. We know it's important to you to be a part of their college life. We're here every step of the way as you and your student explore all the options college has to offer. During campus events, we have special information sessions for you, including a family/friend session at New Student Orientation. We’ll put you on a correspondence list so that you know about campus activities and events that your son or daughter may be participating in. We want you to get acquainted with Lewis-Clark State College and become a proud parent of a Warrior! www.lcsc.edu/parents
