LAKELAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE TURNS 40!

Welcome to Lakeland Community College’s 40th Anniversary web site, a place to look back in time. From Lakeland’s simple beginnings in 1967, to a recent visit from the President of the United States in 2005, Lakeland has always been a dynamic and vibrant hub for learning.

Lakeland has become synonymous with Lake County, training and educating the workforce that is the lifeblood of the community. Many people in Lake County know someone who went to, taught, or worked at Lakeland.

Students come to Lakeland from all walks of life - whether it's someone taking basics here and then moving on to a four year college, or someone just interested in taking a photography class, senior citizen classes, kids summer camps or even the wine appreciation class, Lakeland fills the interests and needs of the diverse community it serves.

Visitors to this site are encouraged to send in their fondest memories of Lakeland, view the photo gallery and the timeline and even take a glimpse into what the year of 1967 was like. There are also video interviews of special faculty and staff of the college, who retell their fond memories of the college first hand.

Now, 40 years later and over 1,100 credit courses offered, the college continues to fulfill its mission of providing quality learning opportunities to meet the social and economic needs of the community.

Come take a peek back in time as we look ahead to a bright future.

Opportunity starts at Lakeland.
