A chill is in the air, our parking lots and classrooms are busy, fall semester 2009 is in full swing! We're seeing many new faces this semester, as fall enrollment is up 17.9 percent over last fall. We saw 9.3 percent more students take classes last summer as compared to the previous summer. This growth is the highest at our college in over two decades. "Now More than Ever" is our marketing theme for the year, and it is certainly one to consider as we move into 2010. More students, more programs and more buildings are on the way! It's an exciting time, more than any since I have been working in community colleges.
It is also clear that now more than ever, in these economic times, Lincoln Land is a wise choice for students graduating in record numbers from high schools, and for adults needing to further their education and job skills.
The new year will usher in a future of opportunities and challenges. Now more than ever, the nation's eyes are on community colleges to offer an affordable education to assist in our country's economic recovery. Now more than ever we are there for the community. Our community needs us and they have demonstrated that by seeking our assistance in unprecedented numbers.
Our college goals: Student Access and Success, Diversity and Cultural Competency, Economic Responsiveness, Community Engagement, Financial Strength and Operational Strength are solid and serve as our guide in planning for the future.
I look forward to another great year at the college. All of the opportunities listed in the FORWARD magazine await you at LLCC. Whatever your age or stage in life, we have all types of classes and programs to move you forward and enrich your life. Now more than ever, we hope you will consider Lincoln Land Community College.
Sincerely,
Charlotte J. Warren, Ph.D.
President
Lincoln Land Community College
