Power is the Director of the NH Scholars Program of the NH College & University Council. Potter is a Laconia High School sophomore who participated in the College Access Convention at LRCC. Throughout the day, more than 100 Lakes Region high school sophomores attended various workshops about the college admissions process and financial aid, as well as heard from current 2-year and 4-year college students about life on a college campus.

"The Access Convention was a tremendous opportunity for local high school students to learn about the college admissions and financial aid process from those directly involved in the field," says LRCC Admissions Director, Wayne Fraser (Alton-not pictured), who served as a panelist with representatives from University of New Hampshire, Rivier College and Franklin Pierce University. "The day was a huge success for all of those involved. It was a pleasure to welcome the sophomores to LRCC."
