LTC Named One of 150 Community Colleges Eligible for the Aspen Prize

The Aspen Institute named Lakeshore Technical College one of the 150 institutions eligible to compete for the $1 million Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence.

The colleges selected for this honor stand out among more than 1,000 community colleges nationwide as having high and improving levels of student success as well as equitable outcomes for Black and Hispanic students and those from lower-income backgrounds.

The 150 eligible colleges have been invited to submit data and narratives as the next steps in an intensive data and practice review process, culminating in the announcement of the Prize winner in spring 2023.

President Dr. Paul Carlson said that the fact that the Aspen Institute has recognized LTC as a Top 150 Community College for the sixth consecutive time is a “direct reflection of our successful past, and our bright future.”
