This year’s commencement will also be the final LCC commencement for President Dr. Linda Lujan, who is retiring from LCC in late December.
“With this Saturday’s commencement ceremony being my last as LCC president, I have to admit my feelings of pride in our amazing college are overwhelming,” Lujan said. “And if LCC students are any indication, our world is in great hands. I’m excited for what the future holds for them. They will hold a special place in my heart and I will be cheering all of them for years to come.”
Family and friends are also invited to share in the celebration. Also, LCC commencement attendees are encouraged to share their pride by using the hashtag #LopesGrad. LCC will share your images from our social media accounts.
