We Help Men Prepare, Enroll and Succeed at Lakeland

Achieve Academic Success

We can help you resolve issues that arise both inside and outside the classroom that may threaten your success as a student. We can individualize an action plan and work with your instructors. Or you can join one of our peer action groups like Pathfinders, for African-American male students, or Gateway, for 25 and up.

Prepare for college

We offer two programs which help men (and women) prepare for college. First Rung to College is a fast-track GED prep program, and QuickStart to College prepares prospective students for college math and English.

Deal with urgent issues

Our open door policy provides male students with quick solutions. If we can't help you directly, we will connect you with a resource that can.
 

The Men's Resource Center is here to help prospective students navigate the "getting started" process for enrolling at Lakeland Community College. Contact us if you have any questions about the enrollment process, or wish to set up an appointment. We can help you become a student at Lakeland.
