Message from the President

Welcome to Lamar Community College!

Lamar Community College has a rich history of fostering academic success and enriching students’ lives since its original foundation as Junior College of Southeast Colorado in 1937, becoming Lamar Community College (LCC) in 1965. LCC embraces the privilege and responsibility as an outstanding institution of higher learning proudly serving in Southeast Colorado. We aim to serve as a launching point for students to reach beyond their own perceived potential.

Caring faculty and staff help unleash opportunities for students by integrating critical thinking and communication skills into practical experiences that extend beyond the classroom. I invite you to explore the many programs, activities, and opportunities that make LCC a community college grounded within a culture of caring and mentorship. We are preparing our students for careers in high-demand fields, with the flexibility to be ready for jobs that have yet to be created.

Our academic programs balance our core commitment to a comprehensive undergraduate general studies education with outstanding applied and transfer degree programs in health care, education, business, agriculture, cosmetology, equine science, construction trades, and many others.

Across the College, we are collaborating on initiatives that support our goals to promote student success and completion and expanding partnerships and programs to meet our local industry’s needs. We are all working every day to support students from the moment they first arrive on our campus until they cross our graduation stage.

Our LCC community is inclusive and diverse. Our students inspire us every day! We serve first-generation college students, recent high school graduates, and working adults. In addition, we serve high school students enrolled through our concurrent program who are getting a head start on the college experience. We also welcome adult learners entering an institution of higher learning for the first time after many years. Our diversity is a point of pride for us.

I am proud of the culture of innovation and collaboration at Lamar Community College as we continue to build on LCC’s reputation for excellence in a caring and welcoming environment. I hope you will join our community of talented educators, students, and staff and become a part of our journey forward.

– Dr. Rosana Reyes
