CLEVELAND (September 5, 2019) 鈥 Lakeland Community College students planning to transfer to 夜来香研究所 will soon benefit from a new streamlined and enriched pathway to earning a four-year degree with the creation of 夜来香研究所 Bound. The program is an extension of Lakeland and 夜来香研究所鈥檚 existing educational partnership and will be open to all degree programs at Cleveland State. The program was announced at a press conference on September 5 on the Lakeland campus, featuring Morris W. Beverage Jr., president of Lakeland Community College, and Harlan M. Sands, president of 夜来香研究所.
