60 Years Strong! 

Students, faculty, staff, and alumni came together to capture a special moment for our 60th Anniversary photo! This milestone is more than just a number; it represents six decades of learning, growth, and achievement made possible by the dedication of our community. We are proud to celebrate the legacy of the past while looking ahead to an even brighter future. Sixty years in the books, and here’s to many more!

A Day on the Course for Student Success

Earlier this September, the LCCC Foundation proudly hosted the annual Tony Boyle Memorial Golf Classic, and what a wonderful day it was! The event brought together friends of the College, alumni, community partners, and supporters for a day of golf, camaraderie, and shared purpose. This event is especially meaningful because it honors the legacy of Tony Boyle, who combined a passion for golf with a deep commitment to higher education.

While the sunshine and beautiful course made it an enjoyable outing, the day's true success was measured by the generosity of those who participated. Thanks to the support of our golfers, sponsors, and volunteers, the Golf Classic raises funds that directly support scholarships and opportunities for LCCC students. Each swing, each putt, and each sponsorship is a step toward opening doors for students who are working hard to pursue their dreams.

The Tony Boyle Memorial Golf Classic is more than just a tournament; it is a tradition that reflects the strength of our community and the belief that investing in education transforms lives. ​

LCCC Team Engages with AWS Leaders to Strengthen Regional Workforce Development

LCCC Workforce Development and Academic Services teams had an incredible experience at the AWS Regional Workforce Development Leadership Kickoff at Amazon.com HQ2. Over two days, our team connected with leaders from Georgia, Philadelphia, and North Carolina to tour the AWS Data Center, engage with infrastructure experts, and participate in strategic planning sessions.

These discussions focused on building strong talent pipelines and preparing students for high-paying, in-demand jobs. The LCCC team shared insights from our programs while learning innovative strategies to enhance workforce training and regional partnerships.
