MESSAGE FROM CLC PRESIDENT DR. LORI SUDDICK
"During these unprecedented times, I encourage everyone to focus on what we can do versus what we can’t do. While we can’t control the pandemic, we can keep our students and families safe by staying at home. We can focus on our goals and priorities for the college and our students. We can be resourceful, helpful, and kind. We can ask for help if we need it. We can deliver high quality education. We can deliver support and services for our students. We can keep a positive frame of mind. We will get through this together. We will be better when we get there, and get there we will."
