We asked faculty and staff what they love about working at LCC. Here's what they said.

Brad Benjamin

Brad Benjamin

Faculty, Mathematics

"I love the collaboration between employees and the ability of all of us to put student success at the top of our agenda. I love the fact that LCC is still the type of place where we hold doors for each other. I love that LCC is small enough that each individual employee is able to make change on the campus. Most of all, I love that faculty are empowered with the ability to try new ideas in the classroom and not be penalized when they do not work. This attitude fosters an environment of innovation that is contagious."
