North Ridgeville Review The Community That Cares
Dear Editor,
In today’s challenging and complex world, it is important that those interested have access to post-secondary education. As a Lorain County resident and administrator at Murray Ridge, I have been impressed by the commitment of Lorain County Community College (LCCC) to removing barriers to higher education for local citizens, including those with developmental disabilities.
Recently LCCC became the venue for ‘echoingU,’ a program designed to prepare young people with special needs to pursue their goals through individualized learning, community integration, and social and professional networking. By providing the site for this program, LCCC enabled echoingU participants to have an immersive experience, with access to resources and relationships available to other college students. This is only one of many examples of LCCC’s commitment to partnering and creativity in the service of all Lorain County residents.
Since its establishment in 1963, LCCC has served 50% of families in Lorain County; and it has the highest success rate of any community college in Ohio. LCCC also plays a vital role in fueling our local economy with a talented workforce, while continuously supporting opportunities for those in our community. Now, LCCC needs our support.
On March 17, please join me in helping LCCC to continue its vital work by voting FOR Issue 17.
