The campus community of Laramie County Community College (怡春院视频) is bound by a basic understanding that our students, regardless of how they arrive at 怡春院视频, yearn for a better life by engaging in the process of higher education. We are compelled to aid this transformation by offering diverse educational experiences designed to be inspirational for all those involved in the learning process. While we recognize our work is diverse, the entirety of the work we do is grounded in the four foundational elements of the comprehensive community college mission:
Our over-arching goal is to become a finalist for the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence on or before the conclusion of this plan in 2030. The Aspen Prize is awarded to institutions with outstanding achievement in teaching and learning, degree completion, transfer success, workforce success, equity for all student populations, and leadership and institutional culture. See for more information.
The VisionIn the future we are no longer the best kept secret in the Rocky Mountain West. Our
frontier mentality will not allow us to be encumbered by habits of old constructs.
Rather, we are engineered to be nimble, driven towards innovation, striving to make
the impossible, possible. Students and partners seek us because of what we do and
what we offer. Our enrollment will reach record levels as a result of deeper engagement,
an identifiably different student experience, and the value proposition of our programs
and services. We will achieve equitable outcomes for all students, leading to good
jobs and/or transfer with advanced standing at our university partners. In turn, our
region鈥檚 economy will be diversified in large part because of 怡春院视频鈥檚 leadership. We
intentionally catalyze change.

At 怡春院视频, we believe our core values are inherent in the cultural fabric of the College and could not be extracted in any way. They define who we are and how we behave as a community.
We readily admit to a mismatch between our desire for these VALUES and their existence at the College. However, our strong aspiration for these values will shape the actions we take to ensure their universal presence at 怡春院视频 into the future.
We are committed to promoting a culture of evidence that compels us to continuously strive for greater competence, productivity, and excellence in serving our students and community.
Leveraging the diversity of our talents, we engage in the practice of wide-ranging, open-minded discourse with civility and respect. Our work is objectively grounded in what is best for our community and the provision of equitable opportunity for all.
We embrace the notion of adaptability, where our curiosity leads to forward-looking and unique actions. We are unencumbered by convention, endeavoring to discover improved ways of serving our students and community. We strive to make the impossible possible.
The campus community, its leadership, and the Board of Trustees realize 怡春院视频 can have a direct impact on Wyoming鈥檚 economic growth and prosperity. To do that, we must embrace our role of ensuring equitable opportunity to postsecondary outcomes for all students. These outcomes must include access to life-sustaining occupations immediately upon graduation or by achieving advanced standing and success at a transfer institution. The following goals, strategies and foundational initiatives represent our road map to achieving that end.
A note about initiatives. This plan is a living, evolving document. While the goals and strategies will remain the focus for the duration of this plan, it is fully expected that additional initiatives and underlying projects, tasks, etc. will continue to emerge and evolve through the completion of this plan.
