Laramie County Community College

What Laramie County Community College does

Laramie County Community College (LCCC) is a public, state-funded community college founded in 1968 and headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming, operating across three sites: a main campus in Cheyenne, a second campus in Laramie (Albany County Campus), and an Eastern Laramie County Outreach Center in Pine Bluffs. The institution delivers credit-bearing education through a Guided Pathways model organized into eight academic pathways, alongside dual and concurrent enrollment pipelines embedded at area high schools, technical career training (CDL, medical/dental assisting, pharmacy technician, fiber optics, manufacturing/CNC, OSHA), registered apprenticeships in HVAC/R and plumbing, adult education, youth programs (SEEK), and life enrichment courses. Core technology infrastructure consists of the Canvas learning management system, the myLCCC student portal (ClassLink single sign-on), Microsoft Office 365 for email and collaboration, NetTutor for online tutoring, and the National Student Clearinghouse for transcript services.

LCCC's business model is a public-sector hybrid: revenue is generated primarily through state appropriations, individual student tuition and fees (governed by institutional policies 4.9 and 4.10), grant funding (e.g., a $556,920 Wyoming Department of Workforce Services grant for CDL training), auxiliary services including residence halls (Eagle Village, 276-bed capacity), and philanthropic donations through the LCCC Foundation. The customer base spans five primary segments: traditional college students pursuing degrees and transfer pathways, high school students in concurrent and dual enrollment, adult career changers in short-term technical training, community members in non-credit life enrichment, and youth ages 6–12 in summer programming. Student Success Coaches serve as the primary GTM mechanism, physically stationed at high schools across Laramie and Albany counties to drive enrollment, while campus tours, community events, and digital channels (website, myLCCC portal) support broader recruitment.

Recent strategic activity centers on the 2026 Strategic Plan 2030 refresh, an Accelerated Course Delivery Initiative adopting 8-week courses as the default format, and a College Renaming and Brand Promise Initiative intended to reposition LCCC for a broader regional market. The institution is led by President Dr. Joe Schaffer, with Melissa Stutz as Senior Vice President for Student Services and James Miller, PhD, as Dean of Students. Leadership is provided by a Board of Trustees, with Riana Davidson recently appointed as executive director of the LCCC Foundation to support fundraising via the Building Forward Capital Campaign.
