Transformational leadership starts with putting students at the center — and continually asking how we can do better.

We’re proud to see LCCC President Marcia J. Ballinger, Ph.D. featured by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program alongside community college leaders from across the country, sharing perspectives on leadership, transformation and the evolving role of community colleges.

As Dr. Ballinger shares in this video, the work extends beyond access and completion to what happens next: helping students translate their education into meaningful careers, economic mobility and stronger futures.

That commitment continues to shape the work we do at LCCC every day.

Preparing leaders to drive transformational change is at the heart of the Aspen Rising Presidents Fellowship. In this video, Aspen leaders, fellowship mentors, and alumni share how the fellowship equips community college leaders to use research, data, and proven strategies to improve student success...

If you were the near Lab Sciences building early morning last week, you may have come across this exciting activity taking place outside: Students worked together and used sidewalk chalk to create large diagrams of the heart! Why?

"Cardiovascular physiology can be difficult for students because there are so many structures and pathways happening at the same time. When they physically draw the heart, trace the movement of blood, and work through the electrical pathway themselves, the concepts tend to make much more sense." - Robin Dahman, Assistant Professor M.S. Chemical & Life Science

At LCCC, our students experience the joy of learning through quality teaching from educators who care. Learn more and enroll today at: https://www.lorainccc.edu/
