I want to thank all of you for your work that has continued to move this college forward and the work that we do for students, and especially those who contributed to the actual document and participated in meetings with the accreditation team. Finally a super LOUD shout out to Dr. Tricia Kujawa, assistant vice president, institutional research and effectiveness, for her steady hand and guidance in getting us across the finish line! – Dr. Charlotte Warren, LLCC President
