LCC SEEKS TO RECOGNIZE ALUMNI (Lamar, Colorado, February 17, 2012)
Lamar Community College is currently accepting nominations for its 2012 Alumnus/Alumna of the Year. These awards become even more meaningful as LCC prepares to celebrate its 75th anniversary and is reaching out to its alumni.
Nomination forms are available at www.lamarcc.edu/alumni and must include the nominee’s name, complete contact information, summary of education & career, special interests, and any other information which would assist the selection committee to understand the nominee’s distinction and how his or her success began at LCC. They are due on March 16.
Last year, LCC honored world champion barrel racing champion and Olympic athlete Marlene (Schiffer) McRae as its alumna of the year. And in 2010 the college selected ag businessman Mike Callicrate. In the past, it has recognized Cheryl Sanchez, LCC’s current vice president of Academic & Student Services, and former LCC instructor LeRoy Brase as well. In total, the college has honored approximately forty former students in the past twenty-five years.
Nominees can be either male or female and must have attended Lamar Community College for a minimum of 24 credit hours or one year (two semesters). The recipient will be recognized at LCC’s Antelope Night celebration on April 27, 2012. The Alumnus and his/her guests are also encouraged to attend LCC’s 73rd Commencement the next morning.
Founded in September of 1937, the college is making plans to celebrate a decade of its existence each month between September 2012 and April 2013. Past students, alumni of all ages, and former staff are encouraged to register electronically on alumni page (link above), so the college and the LCC Foundation can invite them to activities that might interest them.
