“I am a first-generation student that began my educational pursuits as a parent to middle and high school children. The uncertainty and anxiety associated with earning an education is real but can be overcome with tools and resources available to all students. Navigating the admissions process can be intimidating but with a little guidance, you’ll soon have earned the education of your dreams! At the One-Stop Center we can assist you with everything from creating an email account and applying for admissions, to applying for financial aid and finding resources to help you succeed. LCC has support available for you every step of the way, from your first visit, to walking across that stage to receive your diploma, certificate, or degree. Let me help you walk across the stage!” ~Jonna
