Senator Lightford would like to share with you that a City Colleges of Chicago Open House event will be taking place on the 18th of November, 2015.

The first session will occur between the hours of 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the second session will occur from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Below are two links for interested people to register for either the morning or evening Open House sessions.
