Just in time for the start of the 2023-24 academic year, residents in southwestern Salt Lake County have a new college option. Salt Lake Community College officially opens the doors of its new Herriman Campus Aug. 4 with a public open house scheduled from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The open house is available to all and will include tours, food trucks, live entertainment, a movie screening, and information about applying and registering for college.
