Innovation. Opportunity. Commitment.When I think about the past year at Laramie County Community College, these words resonate deeply with the work we have been doing and the experiences we have been creating. These concepts aren’t new. They have been rooted in the development and foundation of the institution for more than 50 years. As Raymond Gilmartin says, “At various points in your careers, you will be called to take a risk. And I think you will find, as I have found, those will be the times of your greatest opportunities.” We have certainly taken some risks, but they have created big opportunities that continue to inspire our work at LCCC.
