Institutional Excellence and Community Enrichment

College Priorities

• Continue to develop strategies to increase employee satisfaction and engagement and reduce turnover.
• Strengthen strategies to increase the diversity of our faculty and staff so our workforce reflects the diversity of the students we serve.
• Continue to increase visual representation through artwork across campus.
• Complete baseball field lighting improvements and grandstand design for the baseball field.
• Secure grant funding for a comprehensive pre-development facility evaluation for Head Start/ECEAP and the Early Learning Center, resulting in increased child care capacity for students.
• Maintain and promote sufficient revenues and reserves to sustain LCC and continue monitoring revenues and expenses.
• Continue developing a system and on-demand reporting for budget managers to track and monitor budgets, including federal grants. Work with similar institutions to identify successful examples, model their best practices, and develop appropriate training programs.
• Continue analyzing student emergency funding needs and determine potential goals and timelines for expanding the Student Success Fund.
• Continue to enhance our cybersecurity preparedness.
• Simplify student access to technology by expanding our single sign-on (SSO) capabilities.
• Continue addressing audio-visual equipment issues in classrooms.
• Plan for the future sustainability of any federal or state-funded programs.
• Begin preparations to open the new Workforce Education Center in winter 2027, including transitioning people out of buildings slated for demolition and planning for a grand opening event. 
• Clarify, educate, and increase engagement with Shared Governance on campus. 
• In light of budget reductions and related staff vacancies, explore efficiencies and other innovative ideas to alleviate strained workloads, save money, and/or generate new revenue streams, including evaluating suggestions from the employee budget forums.
