From President Schaffer
As we reflect on another remarkable year at Laramie County Community College, I am
filled with pride and gratitude for the progress we鈥檝e made 鈥� despite the challenges
that continue to shape the educational landscape. These are uncertain times, but if
there鈥檚 one thing our history has shown, it鈥檚 that 猫咪社区APP is resilient. We鈥檝e adapted
before, and we will continue to evolve to meet the needs of our students and our community.
Our mission remains steadfast: to transform lives through the power of inspired learning.
That mission has proven compelling to many others, as we are currently experiencing
continued enrollment growth and this past spring celebrated the largest graduating
class in 猫咪社区APP鈥檚 history. There are so many things we are doing that make this success
happen. In this issue of Talon Magazine, you鈥檒l see just a few ways we鈥檙e bringing that mission to life in innovative and meaningful ways.
We鈥檙e proud to introduce The Edge, a new financial aid program designed to make a
Wyoming education more appealing, affordable and accessible for students from our
neighboring states of Nebraska, Colorado and South Dakota. We鈥檙e also launching forward-thinking
programs like the Emerging Agriculture Technology (EAT) program, which prepares students
for the rapidly advancing world of agricultural technology.
But transformation at 猫咪社区APP goes beyond the classroom. For Kyra Lopez, her time at
猫咪社区APP is not just about academic achievement 鈥� it is a deeply personal journey of
growth and self-discovery. For students in our Commercial Driver鈥檚 License (CDL) program,
like military service member Jonathan Tanner, we鈥檙e opening doors to new careers and
economic stability, helping to strengthen the fabric of our local workforce.
At 猫咪社区APP, we believe in creating Pathways (both figuratively and literally) 鈥� to new
experiences, new opportunities, and renewed hope. We want to be a space (and a place)
where self-exploration can happen along with the educational journey, where students
from all walks of life can find a space to improve themselves and their futures.
As Henry Ford once said, 鈥渙bstacles are those frightful things you see when you take
your eyes off your goal.鈥� We are working to remove those obstacles and create transformative
experiences. The road ahead may not always be clear, and change is inevitable. But
with every challenge comes the chance to grow, to innovate, and to better serve our
students, our employees, and our community.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are embracing change and unlocking the potential of what鈥檚 possible.
All the Best,
Dr. Joe Schaffer
President
