LCC Connect Weekly: March 21, 2026 – Hour 1

·59 min·2 clips
LCC Connect Weekly for March 21, 2026 opens with the Star Zone segment featuring host Patti Spagnuolo interviewing Taylor Vaught (LCC Admissions) about the upcoming Program & Career Showcase on March 25 at LCC West Campus — a free event for prospective students featuring hands-on demos from Welding, Biology, Nursing, EMT, Geospatial/drone, and Aviation programs, plus a $500 scholarship drawing for new students who register, attend, and enroll for Fall 2026. The second segment is 'Ripper,' hosted by LCC student Terry Denise, in conversation with producer Brendan about the cultural and cinematic history of Nosferatu and Dracula — tracing the figure from Bram Stoker's novel through F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent film, Bella Lugosi, Hammer Horror, Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 adaptation (framed through the AIDS epidemic), and Robert Eggers' 2024 version (framed through COVID-19 and historic scapegoating of outsiders during plagues). The episode also includes promo spots for LCC's stage production of 1984, Mighty Uke Day, and the College Connect readiness program.
