Juneteenth
College Closed on Friday, June 18th, 2021
Juneteenth (a portmanteau of June and nineteenth)—also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day—is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States.
The Washington state Legislature has passed House Bill 1016 that makes Juneteenth a legal state holiday.
In our ongoing efforts to address and dismantle systemic racism we also recognize the importance of broadening our understanding of historical events that shape and impact the important work under way.
The official legislation is in full effect 2022 and we have made the decision as an Institution to honor the spirit of the newly signed law in 2021.
LWTech will close on Friday June 18th as a paid holiday to honor Juneteenth and our acknowledgment of its significance. The campus will also be closed to all students, staff, and community members.
